Me too! I have one mounted frostii and one in a pot. They are both decent looking plants, but so far my foot tapping has not produced any flowers. I think Jim blooms his?

Not even close, Carol. You have to get fairly close to smell the bulbos but for one night, the Amorphophallas will bring an entire neghborhood to its knees.
