Late this afternoon (Saturday, May 12) Perry began to open his/her spathe rapidly. The odor has already reached a highly interesting level, and continually increases. Here are some recent photos. The one that shows the entire inflorescence was taken at about 7:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Note that the female flowers can be seen in the second and third interior photos.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful event with the rest of us. I’ll never be able to see something like this in person. This is truly the next best thing. And all the information about Perry is great.
