Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum goes Hollywood

From: ronmchatton at aol.com on 2006.02.11 at 04:31:18(13855) On the contrary. If you were looking closely, there were two structures that looked remarkably like unopened Amorphophallus hewittii flowers. They weren't on the screen for very long but clearly there. +More Ron McHatton -----Original Message-----From: Steve Marak To: Aroid list Sent: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 21:13:21 -0600 (CST)Subject: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum goes Hollywood I'm impressed by how little television the members of Aroid-L watch ... no one has mentioned the mention of Amorphophallus titanum on CBS's "Crime Scene Investigation" last night. My attention was drawn from my computer by the words "amorphophallus titanum" (though not pronounced the way I normally hear it said) to see a shot of a plant tag for, indeed, "Amorphophallus titanum". Since it was germane to the plot, they even remarked on a common name of "rotting corpse flower". There was nothing in sight that looked remotely like a real A. titanum, of course, or any amorphophallus, but hey, it's a mention of an aroid on the number one show on prime time television here in the US - can "The Great Aroid Movie" be far behind?
