USBG Corpse Flower: July 20

I am now on ten days of daily visits to Washington, DC’s US Botanical Garden’s corpse flower to view and photograph it. I didn’t see any curators today, so I don’t know if it is still growing, but my guess would be yes. I think it is wider today, and the spathe’s fringe seems to be getting redder and frillier and is pulling away from the spadix more. As always, to best see the changes in the plant, view the photos from the past nine days (July 11, July 12, July 13, July 14, July 15, July 16, July 17, July 18, and July 19). Also, see the “Corpse Flower” page on my website that has photos from everyday that shows the whole plant so the photos can be more easily compared. Finally, as for the daily smell report, there still is no smell. Yes, I do simply copy and paste the smell report everyday. It doesn’t change.
