Well, Roger, if you really want to assert that your X is stinkier than my X, I'll be the last to differ with you. And I won't ask - and I hope it occurs to no one else to wonder - how you might have come to think you know this. Is this the normal flowering time for Arum dioscoridis (note spelling) in your area? I have several accessions of this species which have not yet bloomed here. I hope at least one of them has a decoratively splotched spathe. Jim McKenney
