From: Al Wootten <awootten at nrao.edu> on 2004.06.11 at 19:16:43(11610) Finally a bloom within driving distance... There was a TV news report of an A. titanum flowering last week at UCDavis. The website there however only had reports of a flowering last year, leaving the status of that bloom somewhat uncertain, at least to me.

From: "Weaver, Bill" <bill.weaver at hp.com> on 2004.06.12 at 01:52:08(11612) I contacted UC Davis and it turns out that the A. titanum that flowered last week was at Chico State. http://www.chicoer.com/Stories/0,1413,135%257E25088%257E2191701,00.html The interesting part is that the plant came from UC Davis originally. Davis is expecting a bloom some time this summer though.
