Actually, the stink, to me, was the most biologically interesting part of
the flower.  I just couldn't believe how perfectly the flower imitated
roadkill.  Of course my family and friends think I'm crazy for making a
Yahoo Photo Album.  If you could just sleep in the family room for the fe=w
days it's in flower, it would definitely be worth it, in my opinion, to g=et
it to grow successfully.

Subject: Re: Dracunculus vulgaris - first bloom

Thanks for prompt answer.  I know the geodic soil you speak of in souther=n
Indiana.  Sticky when wet, lousy drainage, except that you're on a hill, =so
most of it drains off.  Not unlike the the  soil in western Turkey where
these things are native, and where one of the big wholesale nurseries is.=I
suspect that the other important parameter is the sun exposure.  Mine may
not have gotten enough. I didn't want to plant the stinkers too close to =the
bedroom window.  Adam Fikso in Glenview, USDA Zone 5a
