This is part two of my documented trip. In this thread, I will be covering part of the greenhouse.

I am now in the greenhouse. It is comprised of a total of four areas. It houses their infamous titan arum which was the eleventh one to be taken a picture of in 1999. Titan arums are like your normal stinky arum but imagine the flower is 8 ft. tall. It was the first to ever bloom in California and hit international headlines. Sadly, it was dormant when I arrived.

The Huntington's HUGE vanilla vine. Last time I came I got the chance to see and smell the large flowers. They smelled like their seed pods, only much lighter.

TO BE CONTINUED......

WOW. I just realized that I took a picture of the titan arum's leaf . It's the giant tree-like thing in the pot in the picture with its description.
