I HEARD IT! My attention was drawn from my computer by the words "amorphophallus titanum" (though not pronounced the way I normally hear it said) to see a shot of a plant tag for, indeed, "Amorphophallus titanum". Since it was germane to the plot, they even remarked on a common name of "rotting corpse flower". But yes, nothing resembing an Amorphophallus titanum, mispronounced~ There was nothing in sight that looked remotely like a real A. titanum, of course, or any amorphophallus, but hey, it's a mention of an aroid on the number one show on prime time television here in the US - can "The Great Aroid Movie" be far behind? I thought it was influenced PERHAPS the THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! This is not the first forensic horror this program has featured! hermine +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
