Re: St. Paul tiny titan

Hi,
Yes, I'm here!  The tuber that bloomed when it was 3 years old hasn't bloomed again, but is healthy.  A sibling from the same seed batch bloomed in 2001, both at University of Missouri-St.Louis, (although Julius is correct remembering how I took the little one home one evening so I wouldn't miss it opening, not wanting to spend the night at work. And it really sent its odor throughout my whole house at 3 AM! ). Since then there have been only leaves produced, proving how unpredictable the species can be.   Would it be quite as unique and interesting if it bloomed like clockwork?!    Jim Symon, if only you could be around now to see all the fun and excitement you created!

Susan,

do you know how Kathy's tiny titan performed thereafter.
I rember that Kathy's tiny titan was only three years old - sown in 1995 and flowering in 1998!

I wonder, if it is grown up know and has flowered again.

Happy growing,
Bernhrd.
P.S.: Or are you present in the aroid-L as well, Kathy?

I remember that tiny titan, saved a photo somewhere.  The caretaker's name was Kathy, wasn't it?  Was it Kathy Upton???

Ha ha!  found the photo- sorry for any copyright stealing!!! Yes, it was Kathy Upton- what a memory!  The old gal STILL HAS IT!!!!!

PS.  Dr. Mo at University of Wisconsin- Madison has details on all the bloomings, I haven't seen him in a few years so I don't know if he is keeping up with them still. (English teachers please ignore that sentence!!)
