Hi All, For a close to home (California) report of Tabitha, Amophophallus titanum -- near blooming size -- at the University of California, Davis Botanical Conservatory, click on the link below. http://homepage.mac.com/planthead667/Titan2004/… I volunteer in orchids, a couple of benches north of Tabitha. While I feign disdain, I find the bloom majestic, amazingly like an Elizabethan collar. Kind regards, Joyce Miller Joyce E.
