Titan Tops One Meter

 
 

Monday, March 31st, 2008 by Brian O'Brien

As of yesterday (March 30) at about 4:00 p.m., the leaf shoot of Perry, our largest Amorphophallus titanum plant, was one meter tall. Today at about 10:00 a.m. the height was 105 cm. Alex and Nick are pictured below with Perry for comparison of last year’s and this year’s growth. Click on the thumbnail photo for a large version.

Stay tuned - I’ll post more frequent updates from this point onward, especially once the leaf begins to open.
