From: Eric Schmidt <leu242 at yahoo.com> on 2004.07.12 at 15:04:49(11735) I recieved information that an Amorphophallus titanum is getting ready to flower at the Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World in Orlando,FL. They are guessing the it might open next weekend. If I hear anymore I will post it. I am going to try to go and see (or smell) it so will also post photos.

For those of us in the group who are good at record keeping, I THINK we should keep track of the source of these unique plants, from seed collected by Jim, from more recent tissue culture, or older collections, or even the most recent collection of seed whose sale was posted on the aroid-l. Thanks, Julius. >I recieved information that an Amorphophallus titanum >is getting ready to flower at the Animal Kingdom park >at Walt Disney World in Orlando,FL.
