Bill et al.
Thank you!  The odor is getting stronger, and does sort of come and go,
but it is certainly not anything like I've been led to expect yet.  It
reminds me of a Stapelia now...not a particularly potent one either.  So
good to know that there is more in store!

People seem to be quite taken with the "Stinkometer" - and surely it
must be useful for people watching the webcam...

Thanks again for the good input.  Now I'm going home to bed so I can
come back to - I hope - a stronger odor in the morning!  
Nancy

My experience has been that the most intense odor is during the morning
of its opening.
(They generally start to open in the evening and reach peak stink the
morning thereafter)

Nancy Greig at the Houston Museum of Natural Science told me earlier
today the pheromone of their A. titanum was not yet at the maximum
intensity.  I have been watching this on and off much of the day and
just noticed a "stink-o-meter" on the wall to the right side of the
inflorescence.  Be sure and take a look!  She also said some were
actually complaining it didn't smell bad enough yet.

My guess is tonight the show will much more "intense".

Congratulations Nancy!  Great show.
