After 13 years from seed, my Amorphophallus titanum has developed it's first flower bud. It is typical for them to take 10-15 years until the first bloom. At this stage it can be very tricky to identify whether it is a flower or a leaf petiole. This later turned out to be a flower bud. We named it Lupin and it became the hashtag of  #lupin2016  Photo taken August 30, 2016
