Dear Brian,

Thanks for keeping me in the loop on this exciting event! Nice

sites/photos, I will look forward to reports on what the reactions are to

the smell!

The Best,

Julius

Hello All,

 Our Amorphophallus titanum began opening this afternoon, and is now fully

glorious. The lights in the greenhouse will remain on through the night so

as to allow for recording of images for a stop-motion film and for viewing

via the Internet.

 Public visitation will open Sunday morning at 8:00 Central Daylight Time.

 About 1,000 or so visitors (rough estimate) came through the greenhouse

this afternoon and evening (Saturday), even though the "official" visitation

times did not apply.

  See the links below soon:
