bloom alert~!
I'm glad a few of you remembered the fun we had years ago with the SouthPark character creator. still confused? click here to jog your memory.
Now on to the new stuff. Ever hear of a corpse flower? it's usually a big deal when one of them blooms. and guess what? there's one getting ready to do just that at my old alma mater~!
A web page has been created to track its growth and provide daily updates, and I find myself checking in several times a day to make sure I don't miss anything. there's even been a webcam installed so you can stare at it 24/7 if you so chose.
Since I'm on vacation next week and Z was interested in visiting the campus, I thought I might try to sneak a peak while it was in bloom. but now they're estimating that it will bloom tomorrow night, so I think I'm gonna hafta miss it. oh well, there's always the webcam. too bad they don't have 'smellivision'.

It's a shame you can't get there to see it in blooom, Janny. Although you really need a face mask when you do - or a breathing apparatus - it does smell horribly. I went to see it when it opened here at the Selby Gardens and yes, it does stink. It's a beautiful site and HUGE. I was quite surprised when I read their article. I remember them writing locally about other places getting seed from this plant to polinate theirs. Several of my neighbors volunteer there so I'll ask if it's the year for ours to bloom again.
Hey girl, have a good vacation. Hugs.
I hope the arum is blooming during some days .
I watched the Southparck charaster and I had fun to watching this . Is it you the author of this funny presentation , Janny ? I know some people there .
I cry because you told me I was a silly boy !
Love
