05-JUN-2004 Debbi

Debbi in California

Bloomed June 1, 2004 in the greenhouse of Chico State University. This plant was started from seed 9 years ago by Tim Devine, the curator of the greenhouse. This is it's first bloom. The latin name is Amorphophallus titanum. It smells like rotted meat to attract flies for pollination.


other sizes: small medium original auto
