nothing to report
BOB: WHY would you stand in line to see a stinky flower? I looked it up and was thinking that if it really smells like rotten meat why would ANYONE plant one or want to see one or stand in line with the odor prevalent to see one! Was it worth it?

Oh they are extremely rare outside of Sumatra and hauntingly beautiful in their size. The first bloom on the West Coast was at the Huntington near Pasadena California in 1999. At that time only 11 blooms had been recorded outside the Jungles of Sumatra. New York Botanical Gardens had first bloom in the United States. We actually couldn't smell the flower at our viewing distance but it was fun to see such a huge flower. We did smell a small piece from the base which I think was cut off to facilitate hand pollinating the flower which has to be done in the first 24 hours. You are right in that it is a rare novelty to see. You can't buy or just plant one yourself. All of them have been grown in botanical garden greenhouses with the exception of this on in Vancouver WA which was not grown in a greenhouse but inside a science building. It truly is about the largest flower there is. We had a great time.
Yesterday I walked 30' and biked 40' to a 60' yoga class.
