So this morning I awoke to a funny smell in the house. It was familiar, but for a moment I wasn’t quite sure what it was. That was until it dawned on me that it had to be something in the plant room. A moment later, I had my answer.

My Amorphophallus bulbifer had bloomed. Outside of the plant room, there was a scent of rotten eggs, but once in the room, the smell hit you like a wall. I can only really describe it (at the time of writing) as what happens when you find really old uncooked eggs next to a glass of rotten milk, and it’s slowly getting worse. I don’t expect it to get too bad though, at least I hope not. I just checked and my eyes felt a little burning. Potent little bugger!

Also getting ready for a debut, at least if things go well, are my A.konjac and A.koratensis. Pics of all three are below.
