I entered my greenhouse this afternoon and I was hit by a DISGUSTING smell!
I seriously thought it was a dead cat, we get those around here from time to time. I looked around for a bit and couldn't find any carcass so I asked Iloh and Wayan, two girls that work for me, to come and have a look with me. After about a minute Iloh left the greenhouse and literally vomited in the garden, Wayan then bolted out the door with her nose covered.
Anyway I didn't find anything dead under the benches so I continued pottering around with my plants and it was then I discovered - my Amorphophallus is flowering!
It has opened right up and is absolutely putrid smelling and there were big green bluebottle flies all buzzing around it. Can't believe I didn't notice it straight off.
Anyway - it's not a CP but this was so cool so I wanted to tell you all. I REALLY have to get myself one of those Dyflam digital cameras.
