Thanks, Tony and Tim.
Tony, I didnt know the name Pancratium foetidum, but thanks to Google I see
that its a Moroccan species. I havent noticed too many Moroccans in the
neighborhood here.
When I think of Pancratium, I think of the Mediterranean sea lilies, I
remember some of the moving descriptions of them blooming out of the sand in
moonlight and pouring out a delicious scent.
But Pancratium FOETIDUM: uh, does it really stink? Just my luck the only
one which might perform well here is the black sheep of the family.
