I was soaked for hours! Then, on the way home the trains were all over the place and we had to get out at St. Albans.....5 miles from home. Luckily between the 8 of us we had 2 husbands who could come and fetch us. I really need to go again when I can stay dry and see some areas that we missed. Sounds like you really enjoyed it.

The treetop walk did not yet exist (I think), but I remember the Palm House. <br />The Stuttgart zoo (Wilhelma) also has a titan arum.

Our Denver Botanical Gardens has a titan arum which blooms about every other year. Within a couple weeks of its stinky show, the local television channels report every evening on the growth of the plant for the last 24 hours and when the scientists at the Gardens expect it to bloom. Then people line up to see (and smell) it for the few days it is in bloom.
