Comparing this image with previous flowerings, this looks like it
will be out in about 4-7 days. But
with recent warm weather things have
progressed quickly.

Wow! The hot weather has brought this on faster than usual and it
now looks like it could even flower tonight as the spathe is just
showing signs of unfurling.

As suspected the flower has started to open during the afternoon,
and we would expect it to fully open overnight.

The flower has opened overnight and is now looking spectacular. We
expect it will last through the day
but gradually close up. It will still
be well worth a visit over the weekend.
