Amorphophallus titanum


We saw the infamous "Corpse Flower" at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens the other day. Since they have a webcam which updates every minute, we called my parents in PA to see if they might see us during one of the camera's cycles. Well, they caught Jack as he was talking to some other visitors.
This plant is amazing. It just so happens that we were at the NY Botanic Gardens a couple weeks ago for the Chihuly exhibit, we snapped pictures of Tom Otterness' sculptures of an Amorphophallus titanum. Who knew that we'd actually see one in bloom so soon afterward.
