Wow! Weren't you holding your nose? What a flower! I saw a picture of one in the Washington or New York Botanic Garden. It's flowering was a real event there.

Not much of a smell really, it was just a bit musty smelling in the conservatory, I had been there the day before it opened so it was definitely different but I did stick my nose into the bloom and that was nasty.

Hi Sue,

Yes, I did add them today to the PlantFiles.
Including some of their awesome shots with the pollen.

Also wrote Dr. Creech to let him know he is in the spotlight again with this plant. He LOVES this plant.
