The spathe and spadix of Amorphophallus titanum by Kandis Elliot. What is an Aroid?
Aroid is the common name for members of the Araceae family of plants, sometimes known as the Philodendron or Arum family. The occasionally beautiful and often bizarre combination of spathe and spadix called the inflorescence, sometimes referred to as a "flower", is a distinguishing feature of all aroids.

Titan Arum to Bloom at UC Botanical Garden
  The UC Botanical Garden in Berkeley has a titan arum about to open. This is the same plant, named Trudy, that bloomed in 2005. Trudy (or perhaps I should say T-Rudy) provided pollin (fathered) the plant we had in 2007 which is the source of seedlings we now sell.
