Re: blooming Titan

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.

> y'all need to stop getting them titans to bloom.  no wonder when i told
the greenhouse manager at the brooklyn botanic garden that he was going to
be famous and on tv when theirs bloomed, he shrugged and said "nah, these
days, it's a dime a dozen..."  (btw, their plant just lost its main petiole
and only a small one is green.)
