titanum goes mainstream

From: Bryan Lampl <blampl1 at earthlink.net> on 2004.11.21 at 04:31:05(12400) As a resident of Southern California I occasionally visit a nationally known nursery in the area called Rogers Gardens. While wandering through the usually standard plants, to my surprise, I came across three Amorphophallus titanum for sale. They were supplied by one of the major growers. If anyone is interested, I will guess and say they are two to three years old and are priced at $150. The temperature here is dropping into the fifties at night, so dormancy is probably not far away and then I suppose they will be taken away. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

Thanks, Bernhard. +More "Bryan Lampl" schrieb: > As a resident of Southern California I occasionally visit a nationally known > nursery in the area called Rogers Gardens.

From: Bryan Lampl <blampl1 at earthlink.net> on 2004.11.23 at 08:34:52(12406) Bernhard, I wish I could afford all three of them. They are approx. two feet tall and had a span of eighteen inches. Since I don't own a plant of titanum of that size, mine are smaller, I am speculating on their age. > Bryan, +More > > not that I am asking you to buy them for me, since I am from Germany, but what > is the size ofe the plant, i.e. how tall are they and what is approx. the > "diameter" of the leaf? > > Thanks, > Bernhard. _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Tropicals" <Tropicals at SolutionsAnalysis.net> on 2004.11.24 at 13:23:43(12409) Our A. titanum is 22" tall and 24" span and it is 5 months of age, a seedling. I question an A. titanum of smaller dimensions being 'years' old. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our aroid friends here on the board.

From: "Michael Marcotrigiano" <mmarcotr at email.smith.edu> on 2004.11.24 at 16:26:18(12410) Mine took 2 years (2 leaves) to get 24 inch span. Now at 5 it is near ready to bloom (we hope). The corm is bigger than a basketball and the leaf over 7 feet tall. +More _______________________________ Michael Marcotrigiano, Ph.D Director of the Botanic Garden and Professor of Biological Sciences Smith College Lyman Conservatory, 15 College Lane Northampton, MA 01063 email: mmarcotr@smith.edu voice: 413-585-2741; fax: 413-585-2744 www.smith.edu/garden www.science.smith.edu/~mmarcotr ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers and never succeeding."
