Not sure why... they're so easy from cuttings though that propogation is not a problem. <br /><br />Gary - not that I've noticed. There's certainly no buzzards circling. And there's plenty of possums in the neighborhood, and they don't seem to bother with it.claudehttp://lpfleamarket.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36010671.post-83415468522457693732011-10-08T23:16:35.115-05:002011-10-08T23:16:35.115-05:00Claude,

Still it’s quite a unique plant and would be a great conversation piece. – garyGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653020388235448819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36010671.post-84393937379397731822011-10-08T21:27:42.034-05:002011-10-08T21:27:42.034-05:00Does your plant ever develop seed pods?Does your plant ever develop seed pods?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157968454131571365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36010671.post-38670381910946765372011-10-08T21:13:11.896-05:002011-10-08T21:13:11.896-05:00Liza - Outside, you hardly notice the smell unless...Liza - Outside, you hardly notice the smell unless you shove your face right up in it, and quite frankly the flowers appearance is such, that most aren't tempted to do it. They do draw a few flies, and those are the plants pollinators and why they smell like they do. Inside - well I wouldn't advise it... Out side theres wind and breeze, but inside the smell would just kind of collect and condense. These are outside, and if they're inside, I'd either put it outside or cut the buds off. <br /><br />hey Julie!

Does it stink up the whole house? Or is it still outside so you don't notice the stink? I'm not sure I can handle that smell indoors!Lizahttp://goodtogrow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
