What a pong yesterday, but what a spectacular plant, the spathe over a foot in length.

It's been open 4 days now, but only smelly on the sunny day, when the smell of rotting meat was something to be believed!

Mine were somewhat smaller this year, not sure why.
Best place to plant them is by the neighbours kitchen window as I have!!!!!!

Or the other side of the fence to next doors dustbins, keeps them guessing what's inside!!

Yes, they washed out their wheelie bin twice!! Then I took pity and tied the spathe in a sealed poly bag.

Looks amazing but I'm glad I'm not close. I've heard the smell is disgusting.
