Re: [aroid-l] TitanWatch 4/25/03 ? about the gigas


The two tall Amorphophallus were A. gigas, the other giant species from Sumatra. The spadix were beginning to collapse, so I moved them far enough that if they did collapse, they couldn't hurt the titanums. They are still standing at the moment.

What were those tall purple Amorphophallus that were behind Mr Stinky 
and Audry 3? that have now dissapeared! did they wilt and keel over or 
were they moved?
