Went to see this giant bloom today, at WSU. What an amazing creature! Superlong line, but worth it. #amorphophallustitanum #titanarum #titanarumbloom #stinkyplant #wsuMy baby #whiteclematisfloridasieboldii has opened!

The 🐝 are absolutely elated! I like it too! @marianazorr #sedumalbum #drygarden #xeriscaping #xeriscapingsaveswater #lowmaintenancegarden #waterwisegarden #opticvervedesignAdvertisements
