Amorphophallus konjac Starting To Flower

thanks for the update...I have been very curious on this one.
So, do you have to fight off the neighborhood animals that are attracted to the scent?
Or, is it horrid enough they all stay away!?

It's a weird smell / Hard to describe / But it is Rank / Love It
I have it outdoors / Think it would easily stink up a room good if it was indoors
What gets me is when you catch a whiff from a few feet away / LOL

The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to be attracting flies

I'm surprised that I don't have every ghetto cat in the neighborhood in my back yard

Anybody have ANY Ideas on how I could dry / save / preserve the flower

PS~ I Have Two Small Corms Available If Anyone Is Interested In Trading

call your local florist's, the larger ones will usually have a unit for freeze drying flowers.
If nothing else they can tell you how best to dry them.
