>Titan Arums have a fairly long and unpredictable flowering cycle, and they can take up to a decade before they flower for the first time. Even mature plants can go years between blooms
Both are in California (one is nearly finished blooming), and the plant isn't native to the US

I think its first and previous bloom was three years ago.
The appearance of the article on NPR seems to imply rarity of the blooms; but if anecdata says anything about it, it may not be…
I wish there were an app that would notify me when one was blooming within a reasonable distance. Something tells me the audience for such an app probably wouldn’t warrant the development, lol.
This is the kind of guy I could be friends with.
But people count too much on me...
Actually, it's my PM that tells the stakeholders that we are committing to these tasks in these sprints. I never said those words. I just estimated.
If you've never seen one in bloom, you should go! They smell awful though, haha.
