[Aroid-l] Titan Arum at Gustavus Adolphus College is open

**&* O* <b*@gustavus.edu>**

Hello All,

 Our Amorphophallus titanum began opening this afternoon, and is

now fully glorious. The lights in the greenhouse will remain on

through the night so as to allow for recording of images for a

stop-motion film and for viewing via the Internet.

 Public visitation will open Sunday morning at 8:00 Central

Daylight Time. About 1,000 or so visitors (rough estimate) came

through the greenhouse this afternoon and evening (Saturday), even

though the "official" visitation times did not apply.

   See the links below soon:
