6/29/11 UPDATE: It is time!!! BOB,too started to open yesterday afternoon starting about 3pm! Over the course of the next 5 hours, the spathe (the skirt) opened and the tell tale smell of rotten meat started to permeate the parlor! This type of plant tends to open in the mid to late afternoon and send it’s noteworthy aroma out into the world for the next 24-36 hours. When the Conservatory opens at 10am today, we will have already passed the 19 hour mark in the event. The smell at this moment is still strong but will decline as we pass the noon mark. We will stay open until 9:00PM tonight and reopen at 7:00am tomorrow morning just for you fans to view this remarkable flower! By closing time tonight, there is the possibility that the smell will have disappeared and the spathe will have started to close up and again cover the base of the spadix. This is a very short and not sweet event that is not to be missed!
