Summary

If you've already listened to FE3.6, you heard just a taste of some recordings we made almost 3 years ago – at the blooming of the Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, BC.

While the episode itself was much more focussed on smell itself, and in particular smelly fungi, we wanted to share with you some of the other funny stories from that day, and some deeper insights about this incredible flower.

Pay what you can – as little as a $1 per month – to get access to this bonus interview, and our whole back catalogue of mini-episodes.
