They smell like roses compared to Sauromatum venosum. And I have crates of 
both in the basement. For us, the first sign of spring is when we get up in 
the morning and run gasping and retching outside for some air.

The Amorphophallus, however, is a simply outstanding patio container plant, 
either alone or in combination. I've been pushing them for years, given 
scores away, and tried unsuccessfully to sell them at my spring driveway 
plant sale. I put egg sized tubers out for three bucks and usually have as 
many in the evening as I did in the morning.
