This is what the spadix of the spadix looks after cutting it down. The spadix is the tall part of the inflorescence 😀It looks like cotton candy!

Titan has finished its flourish for the year! Thank you Brenda Alling and Maureen Reese Keller for sticking with me all day on Sunday. We haven’t had a weekend bloom before and most of us were on vacation right up until the bloom. It was crazy timing!

Titan Strikes Again! Here is a link to the live we**am of the 2024 Titan VanCoug bloom. I expect the big day to happen the last week of this month or the first week of August!
