1月27日（木）快晴
やっと死体花が咲きました。それほど臭くはありません。左が咲いている花、右は咲き終わって萎れた花。その間にあるウドの大木のような茎は来年咲く予定の6歳の株。日本では名水を汲みにポリ容器を持参する人がいます。僕もポリ容器で悪臭を採取。植物園通いに飽き飽きして留守番中のユミへのお土産です。

Corpse Flowers have bloomed
Thu. January 27 : fine
The Corpse Flowers have finally bloomed. They are not so stinky. The one on the left in the photo is blooming and the one on the right is withered after blooming. The steel-like big useless fellow is 6-year-old rootstock that is going to bloom next year. While some people bring the plastic containers to draw famous mineral water in Japan I have collected the fume and put it into my plastic bottle. It is a souvenir for Yumi who is at home being bored of visiting botanic gardens.
