Perry after the Flower
Here's our Perry now, about a month after his flower was open. Now Perry will rest for a while and then begin to send up a single leaf. The leaf will look somewhat like the smaller plant to the left of Perry in the photo. Titans send up just one compound leaf that will grow quite large and gather energy for the underground corm (hopefully enlarging it) so that in a year or two the process starts all over again and yet one more single, monster size flower will be produced.
