Re: What's blooming in your garden?

It does smell horrible, a cloying odor that catches in your throat and 
chokes you.  I did detect strains of rotten fish today, too.  I have it 
isolated in my sunroom with all the doors and windows closed.  We can't 
smell it in the main house, thankfully.  Tomorrow, I'll treat my Easter 
dinner guests to the amorphophallus and its perfume!
