We were excited to learn this past weekend that one of the *Arum titanum *tubers produced by our spring, 2008 seed crop bloomed in a greenhouse in Berkeley (see images on https://www.facebook.com/UCBotanicalGarden/). We have not pushed the growth of our tuber supply because of space constraints but these plants are clearly able to bloom at an a relatively young age if pampered. The young bloom only reached 4 ft but had a good strong odor. Those of you who recently got a tuber from us now really have something to look forward to.
