So, when is this plant going to bloom you may ask? Good question. I too have been trying to figure that out and the best answer I can come up with is May 11th or 12th. Why? Mostly because I will be out of town then and won’t be able to see it in person 🙂 I have also looked at time lines for other Titan Arums and judging by where ours is at now, many of them seem to flower about 10 days or so later. However not all of them bloom that fast. Some of them take a couple more weeks to bloom, putting the bloom date closer to May 20th. I think I will stick to my guess of May 11th for now, or possibly May 13th. That would make quite a mothers day gift.

I also noticed today that the veins near the tips of the spathe were just starting to turn red.

In other news, it looks like Perry will be in the Minneapolis Star Tribune this Saturday. Hopefully our webservers can handle the extra traffic.
