From: www.huntington.org/BotanicalDiv/TitanIntro.htm Rare Amorphophallus titanum Draws Worldwide Attention Botanical history was made at The Huntington on August 1, 1999, when the 'world's largest flower,' the Amorphophallus titanum, came into glorious bloom. It was the first-ever flowering of one of these rare plants in California, and only the 11th recorded bloom in the United States. 'The sight of one of these flowers in bloom is extremely rare,' notes Kathy Musial, curator of plant collections. 'It's considered the 'holy grail' of botany.'
