titanum blooms

From: Douglas Ewing dewing at u.washington.edu> on 2001.05.08 at 04:59:29(6384) Today at 4pm our second Amorphophallus titanum has started opening. Ht. is 5'4" ( 163cm ). already 7pm, the spathe is widely open, and the stench is building in the room. I am doing a much lower-key media announcement this go-around, but am open for visitors the next several days. This one is much more open, and has more striking coloration. Will try to keep you posted.

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 2001.05.08 at 15:32:40(6385) Dear Doug, Congrats!!!!!!! Just an Idea, but why don`t you try to link up w/ Craig at Fairchild, you could collect pollen (he could advise on freezing or cooling it, etc.) and get it to Craig and MAYBE we could get pollenation/seed on his 'Mr. Stinky'!! Is this the second of THIS year?? If it is and you had kept pollen from the first, you could try pollenating this second one!!

From: magrysbo at shu.edu on 2001.05.14 at 20:04:22(6441) Is it related? Cute thing, but why? Other Amorph. species may throw some vigor into titanum, also, imagine its huge bloom on a taller stalk (x gigas) or a larger version of paeonifolius!

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.05.17 at 15:36:20(6489) Dear Fellow Highest Primate, Douglas, Don't worry about the weird purists, we aren't mad because we prefer hybridising! Be patient a little longer. The current obsession with the inferior nasty things in the wild will soon die. Modern horticulture with squeaky clean wall to wall tissue culture will make things easier for us in the west. No CITES or Lacey problems any more. Hybridisation and computer planned parenthood will soon make the inferior rightly extinct forever. So Aroiders, (frozen pollen and hot spadixes!), chill out, don't be Party poopers. After all, we are in the Era of the wisest Ape ever. We've got to have better flowers to celebrate the wake for the nasty old wild we never really cared about anyway. Got any brilliant writing for the Newsletter about your private Eugenic work? I noticed that you haven't yet offered any new hybrids to the Spath Control Centre? Could you? Not dull species thanks, they have no future now See you at the Wake!
