Re: A.titanum in Atlanta

From: Daryl Pulis <pulis at mindspring.com> on 1998.07.04 at 23:57:09(2413) Julius, Geri Laufer from the Atlanta Botanical Garden spoke at length about the A. titanum on my radio show this morning. Some of the points she made were that the coolness of the air conditioned lobby of the Conservatory has slowed it down a bit. It is currently just shy of 6 feet tall. It is still expected to open later this week, perhaps on the 8th, though as both Rons (Determan and Gagliardo ) pointed out to her many times, it is is a living organism and will do as it wishes ;-) She said that new pictures were sent to the person handling the website, but that presumably the holiday has slowed down its update. She expects that the new pictures will be up by Monday. BTW, She also mentioned that when it was moved from the greenhouse to the conservatory that it was already too big to fit through the door, and much staking and wrapping with foam material was done and many prayers said!
