A. titanum bloom at UCD

From: Al Wootten <awootten at nrao.edu> on 2004.06.04 at 03:30:26(11560) Folks, Our local news just carried photos of an A. titanum in bloom at the Conservatory of the University of California Davis in Chico, California. It didn't look as large as some I have seen--it is reported to be a ten year old plant. See http://greenhouse.ucdavis.edu/titan/ Clear skies, Al

From: "G. D. M." <doji at interpac.net> on 2004.06.04 at 06:27:22(11565) At the top left of the site that is mentioned in the original site, http://www-pubcomm.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?idd54 under the word "News" is the date 6.3.2004. Then the date on the article itself is June 4, 2003. I sent them an e-mail enquiry, and suggested they do a follow-up story on the single leaf. They could pick another date out of their hat. Not a bad story anyway.

It may not be as large as some blooms we have seen, but is a perfect and most beautiful natural structure none the less! Thanks again!

From: Al Wootten <awootten at nrao.edu> on 2004.06.04 at 13:23:56(11568) Hi Ken I was confused also--apparently it bloomed about this time last year and the web page refers to that blooming although the TV spot referred to this year--3 June in fact. A pretty regular A. titanum! I suppose it is difficult for a resource-starved University to provide fresh material. But apparently they are doing well by this plant!
