Re: titanum blooms

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 2001.05.08 at 15:32:40(6385) Dear Doug, Congrats!!!!!!! Just an Idea, but why don`t you try to link up w/ Craig at Fairchild, you could collect pollen (he could advise on freezing or cooling it, etc.) and get it to Craig and MAYBE we could get pollenation/seed on his 'Mr. Stinky'!! Is this the second of THIS year?? If it is and you had kept pollen from the first, you could try pollenating this second one!! Sincerely, Julius +More >>Today at 4pm our second Amorphophallus titanum has started opening. Ht. is 5'4" ( 163cm ). already 7pm, the spathe is widely open, and the stench is building in the room. I am doing a much lower-key media announcement this go-around, but am open for visitors the next several days. This one is much more open, and has more striking coloration. Will try to keep you posted.
