Perry was overjoyed all over again this past Sunday, when a goodly segment (four out of five) of his/her favorite family of Perryophiles, the Pattons, visited soon after the visit of Molly and Andrew. They’ve been participating in Gustavus Amorphophallus happenings since a week or so before Perry’s first flowering about 3 1/2 years ago, and their general enthusiasm for things botanical is a lovely thing to behold. The photos show stages in the growth of both Perry and his/her human devotees. One regular denizen of the blog, Philip, is an accomplished orchidist and keeper of Amorphophallus species, and is forester of The Enchanted Amorphophallus Forest – 2009 and 2010. Also pictured, left to right in the second and third photos, are Norman, Jody, and David. Click on the thumbnail to see all three photos.
Thanks for linking. It was an outstanding day.
