Amorphophallus titanum, 2018 bloom

            Well named
.
The newest flowering of the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum, or “Corpse Flower”) at The Huntington has generated good questions about the origin of this plant at our institution. This wonder of the vegetable kingdom has now flowered for us, including years 1999, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2014.

The first bloom, in 1999, caused the greatest sensation of all five events for visitors and staff alike. It was obtained in March of that year from longtime friend of the gardens, Dr. Mark Dimmitt of Tucson, Ariz. Mark in turn had obtained it from the Index Seminum of the Palmengarten in Frankfurt, Germany. This plant was given the accession number 85000, which means it’s the 85,000th plant to be recorded in The Huntington’s living collections.
