Are you doing #PlantPotPride ?

Double Samarathon completed! Wind dropped, blood sugars behaved and my last run was my longest ever. 2 marathon distances run during July around Leith Links and all dog poo avoided. #samarathon https://t.co/eBX60qTR8o

Things have been super busy around here and my minions are isolated from one another. Still.... They could have at least told me I was going to be an older sibling again! 😱😳🥳 Welcome to the family, little one... Now what the heck are we gonna call you? #surprise! #titanarum

Four days into parliament and he looks like a concerned relative has found him drinking heavily and shouting at pigeons in a bin

Today I'm researching the loadbearing capacity of giant waterlilies with engineers. More on that later - just LOOK at the underside of the leaf - our jaws all just dropped at its beauty.

@TitanArumRBGE status: last night’s unfolded “skirt” of clonal #minime / #weeReekie is starting to wilt slightly while the fruits of the bigger inflorescence of #NewReekie (that opened 23 June) are looking more juicy. Both plants have public access @TheBotanics 10–17.

Prime camera-minioning here by @duncanreddish in a rather trippy view of the #weereekie I'm rather proud of my fabulous looking little clone. Is that conceited? Oh well 😂 #titanarum #stinkyplants

Will it? Won't it? #titanarumrbge The Clone Wars #minime #weereekie Blooming soon in a glasshouse near you #rbgedinburgh #edinburgh #amorphophallustitanum https://t.co/QyBOEWM6EE

Struggling to measure my #minime? Well, that'll teach you to put a Titan in a pond! 153cm: not bad so far wee yin! #rbgehort #titanarum #bigplants

If you go down to the Rainforest Riches glasshouse today you're sure of a big surprise! In an unexpected turn of events once our my leaf cutting clones has decided to follow my leaf and bud up... 😮😱🥳 #clone #minime #amorphophallustitanum #rbgehort #weereekie #uhoh

Pat Clifford teaching our intern Hazel how to remove the older leaves of the Giant water lily #rbgehort

Oh the indignity! Apparently I was going a little fusty on my insides and so I was given a rather severe spathe-chop. Worse, every minion and their auntie apparently had to come and watch me be taken apart! #newreekie #amorphophallus #badhaircuts #insideplants

Did you ever want to know what's hiding under my spathe? My intrepid IT gadget minion @duncanreddish has you covered. I've never seen my insides quite like this before... Female flowers at the bottom, (orange), male ones above them (yellow) and the base of my spadix at the top!

#bigflop? WELL, I never! 😱😳

Apparently the science minions are pleased with my pollen production last night and were exclaiming happily about the volume. I aim to please... Having ones insides prodded with a cold spoon is quite a bracing experience! 😱 #NewReekie #rbgescience #rbgehort #pollination

Highlights from #NewReekie's full, glorious (& stinky) bloom last night. It's still looking good this morning but might flag towards the end of the day, especially if pollination was successful. Follow @TitanArumRBGE to see how it's looking throughout the day 📷 @duncanreddish

An Amorphofabulous night with @TitanArumRBGE and the #NewReekie team last night. Pungent aromas, natural visual effects and a livestreamed pollination. Just another Sunday @TheBotanics
