An Amorphophallus titanum has bloomed and the flower opened last Saturday at EPCOT ans apparently stunk up the Disney park (see link below). A friend of mine was contracted to collect pollen but the flower closed by Sunday morning. By the time I got there, he had cut two windows in the sides of the closed flower to access the pollen. You can see one rectangular hole in the photo. The next photo is a close-up that shows the interior goods.
