The flower on this virused Drac was most interesting, but I am going to do it in tomorrow. i did have an opportunity to dissect teh flower to see how that sucker functions- the ostensible spadix is but a smelly, slimy facade that has no reproductive parts. Both male and female parts are tucked into the hidden portion of the spadix where it is enclosed. (pistils below stamen)
Anyhow, wnjoy it at a non-smellable distance. It was open for two and a half days.
