PDN -- Amorphophallus titanum
Topic: Home and Garden 5:01 pm EDT, Mar 12, 2007

This is the Holy Grail of the plant kingdom. All plant nuts have seen pictures and then searched for this rarity...indeed only a few specimens are known in cultivation. In 1995, Dr. Jim Symon (now deceased), found a few wild specimens (one with seed). For those of you new to these plants, A. titanum has the world's largest inflorescence of any plant...to 8 feet tall. The giant red vase, with an equally large central spathe, is truly one of the wonders of the world. The giant leaf atop a mottled stalk, to 15', appears after the flower. The seed stalk, which reaches to 6' tall and holds large red berries, is equally unbelievable. It may only go dormant every 2-3 years and as a rule, A. titanum likes it hot! Please do not order this unless you are a passionate and very serious plant NUT! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)

Triffids are real.
