Titanic Miracle in the Making
|
From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2006.05.08 at 14:44:01(14130)
Oh Ye Phallic Phreaques!!
In the botanical garden of Bonn (Germany) a tuber of Amorphophallus titanum
was raised last year that weighs 117 kilo (that's quite some stones, lbs and
whatnot). This largest of all titans ever is now producing THREE buds and
already TWO are certain inflorescences!!! This was never seen before. And
who knows, maybe the third bud is an inflorescence too.
Site of the garden: http://botgart.uni-bonn.de/index.html but in german. Yet
there is a link to a webcam.
Enjoy and all you lovers of climbing aroids: CONVERT while you still
can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How old would this tuber be?
There is also a page in English with the 2000 & 2003 flowerings.

Can someone (anyone) explain the dowel poked through the tip of the titanum
spadix which seems to be hung from the ceiling in the 1940 photo on the
attached page? It's the second photo from the left, top row. I would like
to understand the reason this was done. I can guess (and I love guessing),
but I'm usually wrong. Why was the dowel put there? Could it be my eyes?
Could it be something hung from the window instead? Would you do something
like this if you wanted to dry the spadix for botanical study? To keep it
in some kind of 'shape' rather than letting it melt at the plant's base?
That's not a guess, it's a question.....Oh, maybe it is to prevent the need
to clean up the spathe after collapse around the fertile seeds? I give up!
Why? Is there really a stick there?
Are they going to be showing the two inflorescenses?

Looks like it is supporting an otherwise collapsed spadix. (there are
creases in it that suggests it had flopped over)

Hi All
I remembe Wilbert wrote me once that two inflorescenses on the same tubers
means a mother tuber will split into two smaller tubers then. And he was
right :) My A.beccarrii did it.
So maybe in this case it is going to be the same.
With regards,
Marcin

Dear Lord P.(ure-metric),
for continentals like us there is a nice little freeware programm called
convert and it says:
117 kg = 18.42432 stone
(yes, I know, it should give 18 stone and some lbs, ounces etc.
furtheremore I do not know, if the stones are imperial or from the new
world, but I bet there is a difference....;-)
some more...
| +More |
117 kg = 257.9405 pound (advp)(lb)
117 kg = 313.4674 pound (troy)
117 kg = 585000 carat (for people who are in gemstones)
117 kg = 75232.64 pennyweight (also a very nice one)
I remember there was a discussion like tis some years ago and ( if I am
not wrong) Julius shed some more light on the topic.
Best,
Bernhard.

Try it this morning. What a spectacular sight. At
Fairchild we will have our blooming of Audrey III (Amorphophallus titanum) in
perhaps a week. The Garden will be installing the webcam shortly.
While ours is not a 3-headed Hydra, this is Audrey III, 2nd blooming in 3
years. Our plant is named after Audrey 2 (named after Audrey in Little
Shop of Horrors). In May of 2003, Actors' Playhouse in Coral Gables was
producing the pre-Broadway run of Little Shop of Horrors and at the same time,
our plant was coming into flower -- hence the name. Stay tuned for the
adventures of Audrey III at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

Another gues for Lord P(recise) and the Empireals in the list:
117 kg = 18 stone 5 lbs(avdp) 15 oz (avdp) and 23 grains

Bernhard,
Do you have a link to the freeware? I have it on my
computer at work and I LOVE it, it is so easy to use,
and I use it all the time.
Unfortunately our email system here does not allow one
to send .exe files so I cannot get it on my home
computer.

Tsuh Yang,
It's the (only) point of view!
Here in old Europe we discriminate between peolpe having a "continental"
breakfast (some sort of bread or roll, butter, jam, cheese etc) and a
minority living on an island who thinks that a warm breakfast (baked
beans, bacon, cooked fish, spagetti etc.) is the way to start a new
day.
> what is north america? ?an island?????
Yes, of course! At least I heard of Long Island (aren't you from that
place?)...
OK, I have to admid a VERY long island from Cape Hoorn to the
Bering-Street - no chance for the Vikings or Vespucci to miss it... ;-)
Continental greetings,
Bernhard.

Dear Tsuh Yang,
yes, noboby DARED to give a guess
(and I strongly ask everyone not to start with this via this list!)
However, I would suggeest to change the unit from tons to lbs;
at last he is named Lord P(ound), isn't he?
Last comment from me...
Good growing,
Bernhard.
OK, really a last comment: You all are too funny! I love this list,
first of all because of the serious postings, but for the other ones
even more ;-)

The weight would be (Kg) x 0.0011023113 = weight in short tons
But one could argue that he has no weight at all, as he hovers as an Aroidal
Angel above us all, dispensing knowledge from on High.
