The Amorphophallus gigas produced pollen last week. *lots* of pollen. I
harvested the pollen at 11am and by the time I got it all into envelopes and
got back out to the greenhouse, it had produced another crop of pollen.

I took loads of photos and posted them to my flickr account instead of
filling up everybody's
email:

The A. erythrorrhachis(?) is really getting large now. The spadix was also
covered with droplets of liquid. I also photographed it heavily and posted
them to flickr:
