USBG Corpse Flower: July 18

Another day, another visit to Washington, DC’s US Botanical Garden’s corpse flower to view and photograph it. I love this corpse flower. I am obsessed with this corpse flower. It needs to bloom already though. To best see the changes, view the photos from the past seven days (July 11, July 12, July 13, July 14, July 15, July 16, and July 17). 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. I can’t really tell what changed today from yesterday. It may be a little wider in the middle. I think the edges of the spathe are a little redder. I think the fringe edge of the spathe is pulling away a bit more. Finally, as for the daily smell report, there still is no smell.
