S. Venosum Flower {Spike}

Nice. Mine just started popping up a few days ago.

Am I the only one who thinks this flower smells exactly like elephants?

Fantastic, I love this plant and Amorphophallus too.
 
The flies were lined up outside my greenhouse the morning this thing bloomed. I've never seen a plant so adept at attracting its pollinator.

Man, yours is way bigger than mine.

What soil mixture do you use?

What soil mixture do you use?

It could be corm size / Mine are 3 years old

I use a mix of
Compost
Manure
Horse Poop
Peat and/or Potting Soil
Bone Meal / Dry crushed bones work just as good
&
Bark for drainage

To bad they don't last longer than a day
 
That compost and the smell of the flower must be a charming combo.
 
Wow nice flowers. Only a day? About like a stanopia orchid.

It's like the one I'm sending you

They open in the morning & wilt by the enad of the day
Kind of sucks / But they're still cool looking non the less
