At 5'-6" tall and still growing, this is my tallest
Voodoo Lily (Amorphophallus konjac) inflorescence yet. It's also the first to bloom indoors and yes, it was banished to an unused bedroom for two days. To my nose, not the unanimous opinion, it started out with a slightly spicy, metallic odor and went downhill from there.
These photos were taken, left to right, March 2, 6 and 11.
These photos were taken March 12.
Female anthesis March 13. There was a clear sticky fluid on the pistils(?).
Male anthesis on March 14. The spathe really opened up.
The tuber has experienced significant shrinkage. It started out at ~10" dia., about 1/2" from edge of this pot. It's now ~6 1/2" dia.
