Re: blooming Titan

From: "Petra Schmidt" petra at plantdelights.com> on 2002.07.27 at 03:20:05(9126) Ours here didn't bloom again this year, but it will bloom, and hopefully in the near future...when you really stop to think about it, there aren't that many people who have seen Amorphophallus titanum, in bloom or not...the plant is really not "out there" as much as you'd think. One of ours here is now about 5' tall and still shooting for the sky unfolded and it is an amazing sight.

(btw, their plant just lost its main petiole and only a small one is green.) > > -- > tsuh yang CHEN in nyc > >
