What's that coming over the pot is it a monster? Is it a monster~🎶 I'm just about able to peek over my pot - all the better to keep an eye on what's happening. Seems a bit quiet though - where are all my adoring fans? 😭 #Amorphophallus #TitanArum #TeamRBGE #RBGEHort

Please meet the head of my newest (and tiniest) minion division: Adi the jumping spider. The 'Jump Team' are in charge of clearing the fungus gnats from my nice new compost! 🕷️🪰 #SmallButMighty #Biocontrol #JumpingSpider #Amorphophallus #TitanArum #TeamRBGE #RBGEHort

I've more than doubled in size in just one week! Though apparently I'm not growing as fast as in previous years - can you blame me? In this weather I just want to stay tucked under my compost 😭🌧️😭🌧️😭 #ScottishWeather #Amorphophallus #TitanArum #RBGEHort #TeamRBGE

Some wonderful footage of what my wild siblings look like! 😄

Plants doing their thing for the #Olympic2024

New open garden dates 10-16 August @linnbotanics - a rare chance to see restoration in action at this very special garden plus a book launch & exhibition. Details below and on our website 💛

But the really important question is, which #CarrionBeetles will visit Titan Arum Edinburgh this time?! We had Nicrophorus investigator in 2017 and Necrodes littoralis in 2019. Come on old friend - spread that STINK! 👃🏻💀#CarrionClub

💚💪 Time for Scotland to weigh in on the action! We take on the #WaterlilyWeighOff24, as challenged by Denver Botanic Gardens. With a very Scottish twist up our sleeves (we're looking at you IRN-BRU) and a guest appearance from Marley, the Botanics cat, do we have what it takes to win?

At first light this morning, our Arid House was filled with night-flowering cactus flowers the size of dinner plates. In just an hour they'll be over - but what a privilege to have seen them ❤️

It's funny how I've never noticed this Anthurium salgarense. It's been Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh since 1968. Guess I don't look up enough!!
