Never had the chance to see it before, Lovely shot
hildegard says:
Great shot & top marks for not seeing it in full bloom. Durian smells bad enough but at least that's edible... ;)

this is what it looks like when it really gets going
Hildegarde's photos of Chelsea made me remember how much I liked the pleating and fuzzy parts on this plant. Nige, you really don't want to bite this one. Really. You either, mamzelle Helen.
swamprose says:
yes, Helen. ten feet tall.
but the other side makes you small.
only Alice knows for sure and she's not telling.
minkey says:
Certainly not one to eat or come too close and personal when the time is right....but would be a perfect way to have space in the tube LOL....
There's one of these in the Sydney Botanical Gardens and manages to hit the news when it flowers- smells like rotting meat apparently.
