Re: titanum page

From: "Julius Boos" <ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 1998.05.05 at 15:12:33(2090) Dear Kathy, Thanks to you (and to Scott and Lester) for sharing the wonderful bloom with us all. Jim would have been estatic about this event! I can appreciate your story about the smell; you are a braver soul than even I imagined! Indoors!?! A few years back I had a few Typhonium blumii`s in flower on benches OUTSIDE my garage, yet the smell of flatulent swine managed to make its way through/under the door of the garage, then under/through the door between the garage and into my kitchen! Oh, the sacrifices we Aroidophiles make! Thanks again, Julius +More ju-bo@msn.com >Dear aroiders- Thanks for the confirmation, Wilbert! And thanks again to Scott and Lester for creating the new page! You can see Amorph. titanum in flower at the following URL: www.mobot.org/IAS/Image/Aroid/Upton/titanum.html It opened Saturday night and I had it at my home for observation, not wanting to camp out at the University greenhouse. I had it in a warm room and provided it with humidity. It was in a room with a closed door, but the stench leaked through and into whole house, upstairs and downstairs. My husband was a good sport about it, but my 4 year old daughter said,"Yuck! Sick!" and wouldn't stop holding her nose. -Kathy Upton<
