@dreamlettuce · Answer

They are absolutely beautiful plants and their blooms are so interesting to me…but what gets me is when it’s a couple a days and if outside, maggots start surrounding the inner parts of the flower 😩😭🫣

@AstroMind · Answer

It looks so good! Do you have a close up of the bloom?! That’s so good!

@AstroMind · Answer

@SamTzam such a cool bloom! Looks like a spooky starfish. Love it!

Patti · Answer

@Sassylimey · Answer

I know what joy you felt waking up to these beauties this morning. They are stunning. 😍
How about the smell?
Welcome to Greg, we're glad you're here, happy growing 🍃🌱🌿💚

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@dreamlettuce the maggots don’t last long at all since they don’t have a few source.  They stay very tiny and then are gone quick

@SirLiquorice · Answer

The more mine flowers the more stinky they seem to get.  At first you couldn’t smell it much if at all.  But they get stinkier every time.  This last time it was choking me out just walking with the plant inside for pictures.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

But I don’t mind the stinky flowers.  It’s an outside plant so it’s fine.
