You can see the spadix and spathe forming inside the sheath.

Stay tuned... It will probably be in full bloom within the next couple of weeks.
 
In the words of dragonseye.

"Let the stink begin!"
 
Oh man, I thought my A. konjac smelled bad! I can only imagine what a flower of that size would smell like!

Why do I feel that you just want that flower to stink up the greenhouse instead of your house.:jester:

Nice live feed, by the way.

It will probably be in full bloom in a couple of hours so if you're interested, it's a good time to go on the live feed a few posts back.

Curtis - The Mickey Mouse figurine is placed there as a fun item for young kids to find.

Jeff - The plant is 9 years old and its first bloom. I don't know the size of the tuber but will repot it soon to take measurements and weight.









Gone in less than 24 hours :(
