Anybody who lives in the LA area & hasn't heard about "Stinky", contact the Huntington. Stinky is a giant flower - supposed to be largest in the world -- which blooms only every few years. Smell is supposed to be, uh, unbelievable. They're waiting for bloom opening, any day now. Caused a huge sensation last time it opened; hit all the media. So I hope to fight my way through the crowds when word comes that it's opened.
Titan arum?
Yup, I got several Amorphophallus konjacs this spring. 2 of them are
4+ pounders!
Check ebay for Amorphophallus Titium
Yep. They have name on sign at site.
The "phallus" part is self-evident
I rushed out first day the Huntington sent an email alert, but didn't get full effect. Not much smell, for one thing, and it wasn't wide open. Staff said it had opened late previous night and early next morning, briefly, but when I got there it was only partially open. Still, a fascinating experience. Crowds were good-natured, letting people take pix in turn.
They were selling "Stinky" plants in front of the bookstore for $250 a pop. You could have your very own "Stinky" garden party in due course, complete with smell.
Will I make it to the next time? Stay tuned
