Bulbo Wilbur Chang
This bud has taken eight weeks to open, was completely closed yesterday. Seven inches from tip to tip, deep red tongue wags in the breeze.

I wonder if the other parent shrank the bloom a bit. Mine is a first bloom on this division. I saw it described as smelling like rotting meat with pepper corn. Quite accurate in the description.
