How many horticulturists does it take to measure a Titan Arum? 😜 I've only grown 1cm today but I think that's not a bad effort after the exertions of the last 24hrs! #NewReekie #Amorphophallus #TitanArum #Blooming #TeamRBGE #RBGEHort

Good morning my glorious and beloved admirers. I am still going strong this morning, and am looking forward to another day of basking in your attention. A few more time slots are available today, so go check out rbge.cc/TitanArum to ogle in awe at my pot 😁 #NewReekie

A handful of plant scientists from Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences basking in the beauty🤩 (and stench🤢) of the glorious New Reekie Titan Arum Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh💚 So happy to see (and smell) it in person.🥰

I've been told that some of you apparently give the time of day to the other floral denizens of my glasshouse and that I'm to 'share' your attention as you visit. I do so under protest but for those of you who like that sort of thing, keep an eye out for these other flowers...😒

M O T H E R Titan Arum Edinburgh

A lot of my glorious admirers in the last two days have been asking what my spadix feels like! 😱 😱 I allowed one of my minions to get up close and personal to give you an idea of my beautifully rubbery-bumply texture. Isn't it glorious? No touching though! #spathe #spadix

My minions really are rather wonderful. Though I'm the star of the show, obviously... I'm delighted you managed to visit! 😁

😍🥰This human understands how a Titan Arum should be celebrated. 💚💚💚

My adoring fans - I am now almost entirely spent. You've given me such adulation, adoration and devotion last week that you've worn me out 😜 I haven't been pollinated (thank goodness - I have enough offspring) so it's time to withdraw nutrients from my remains and rest.

Anyone else getting that Thursday feeling? 😁 I continue my slow progression into restfulness. I think I'm still a marvel - just of a different sort, right? Ageing gracefully, handsomely... fungal-ly. #TeamRBGE #RBGEHort #Amorphophallus #TitanArum #fungus #decay
