Re: Titan flowering at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

I’d have to agree. It will likely ‘color up’ a lot more before it opens. One sneaky detail to watch out for is that they tend

to open overnight with the spathe starting to pull away just after dark and opening fully overnight.

 

I’ve attached a gratuitous photo of my most recent bloom. (Also a left over right bloom, something I never noticed before)

Congratulations!!!, my guess is 4 days, the skirt is still green.

Try to get a photo from the front, so we can see if it is left over right or right over left.
Attached is a photo of left over right, which seems to be more uncommon, if I remember correctly.

Just making sure those who need to know do!

As far as I know it's the first for Victoria, only the 4th or 5th for Australia, and while not up to full scale, it's pretty impressive for a first timer!

Any predictions on the opening? The measurements on the Facebook photo were taken Wednesday Dec 18th in Melbourne.

I know I'll be along to get a whiff very soon!
