Flower? More like a dinner plate for a giant

**deranged chipmunk** · February 27th, 2015

Hahaha! And that's not even the biggest of the family. A. Titanium is the biggest, I believe, with an inflorescence that measures about 36" in diameter!! Such a bad a$$ed plant!! Sadly, they only bloom for a couple days and they only do that about once every 7 years.

Still awesome!

**jarteta97** · February 27th, 2015

Haha, imagine trying to have a viv big enough to fit that!

You need a conservatory. Lol the royal botanical gardens in kew (Britain) keeps one and they even give it it's own webcam. They move it around in a massive pot on a pallet via motorized pallet Jack.

You know a plant is awesome when it has its own webcam. My only question: Who watches it?!!! LOL

**LilyPad** · February 27th, 2015

I guess the webcam would be interesting approximately every 7 years.

Oh my Lord, it makes me think of astronomers all coming out to watch a meteor shower, or the alignment of planets hahaha!

**LilyPad** · February 27th, 2015

I have set up blankets in a field out in the country many times to watch meteor showers! And I'm not even an astronomy nut

**jarteta97** · February 27th, 2015

Oh don't even get me started. When I lived in Texas and my family and I went camping, we would lay under the stars and watch the meteors streak through the sky. Somewhat poetic, eh? Anyways, camping and love of nature is what really hooked me when it came to frogs and vivariums. All I want is a little slice of the jungle in my house

Speaking of... Completely unrelated, but did you guys/gals see Venus last week? ⭐️🌙

**jarteta97** · February 27th, 2015

No

**Heatheranne** · February 27th, 2015

Tsk tsk! Smh. I'll have you know there will be no hiney's on display.

I shall redirect us back to plants

. Lol!

**jarteta97** · February 27th, 2015

Hmmm ok, so I remember one tank I saw on Dendroboard had these suuuuper cool tillandsias or broms (couldn't tell which). They were black with cool spots on them, and they had a really unique shape IMO of almost tentacle-like leaves. I'll see if I can find them.

**jarteta97** · February 27th, 2015

Found it!

Racinaea crispa

Ok, so maybe not black, but still super cool IMO

**jarteta97** · February 27th, 2015

Ok Bill, you're something unnatural, how the heck did you do that?????

**deranged chipmunk** · February 27th, 2015

Probably racinaea crispa
