From: "Craig M. Allen" cm_allen at yahoo.com> on 1999.08.30 at 00:45:37(3603) Aug. 27th - Titan watch: 62.5" Amorphophallus titanum 931146A Larger than last years now. Aug. 28yh - Titan watch: 66.75" Amorphophallus titanum 931146A The red color developing on the inside of the spathe is getting very prominent. The color shows through the flap where the closed spathe overlaps itself. That was not evident on last years inflorescence. The lower part of the spathe is beginning to balloon out and the fold are loosening a bit. There is a bit of evidence that the top ruffle is loosening up as well. The spadix is developing furrows and the pores are appearing as white specks on it's upper areas === Craig M.
