Default A stinker, but not a Bulbo

Hi all,

I love growing this plant every year. It goes dormant in November and I bring it out of dormancy by watering it around March. After just a few months of growth I got my first bloom of the season. This plant will bloom a few times this year, and since it multiplies so well, I have three pots with many bulbs each. I think I will be seeing lots of blooms, just like last year and the year before.

Typhonium varians.

Not brave at all. I keep them in a plant room at Queens College where I work.

Neat plants! I like aroids, they're an interesting group of plants. Do you have pics of the entire plant. I'd like to see the foliage.
And what does it stink like?

Spicy body odor. Here is a picture of it back in 2009.

What a great looking plant! Sounds like it doesn't smell THAT bad! BO is more bearable than rotting meat.
