Morty, the corpse flower that bloomed in August at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, has a sibling now on display. It is the same kind of plant, an Amorphophallus titanum, but this specimen is in the leaf stage. While you had to hurry to see Morty because the bloom lasted only a few days, the leaf specimen should be on display for a couple months. What’s amazing about this plant is its size. It looks like a tree, but it’s a single leaf! The photo shown here was taken in the middle of October when the leaf was only about 10 feet tall. A week later, it was more than 11.5 feet tall and it could reach a height of 20 feet. As it opens, it will have an umbrella-like top that could be 16 feet across. By Nov. 1, the leaf should be partly to fully open. Each plant goes through cycles over a period of years. The plant gets a leaf, then goes dormant, then gets a leaf and goes dormant again. At some point, instead of sending up a leaf, it sends up a flower. These plants bloom about every

is still October. I was looking for some plant stands. Silly me. What do all those lurking reindeer and sleigh bells mean? Why, it must be time for Halloween, which is really just the gateway event to the next two months of continuous holiday commercial madness. So, before all that festive magic is let loose on Nov. 1, I would like to take a minute to fully appreciate these last few days of fall leaves, pumpkins, costumes, candy and apple cider. The trees still have a little of their resplendent foliage, but there are more leaves

on the ground than up above. This is perfect for trudging house to house on Halloween night. Ghost costumes, witches’ brooms, pillowcases filled with candy, all drag through the piles of leaves with a scuffling sound that shrouds the whole night in intrigue. Sometimes there’s snow, and costumes are stuffed inside a winter coat, much to the wearer ’s dismay. The alternative is to stretch the costume over the coat, which is better, but still awk-

dens bought three corms, or bulbs. The first one, Morty, bloomed this summer, the second is on display in its leaf stage now and the third corm is budding into what could be a leaf or a flower. “I’m expecting it to be a leaf, but you never know,” said Jeff Thompson, director of horticulture at the Botanical Gardens. That plant isn’t on display yet. In the meantime, we need a name for the leafy specimen. People who visited Morty this summer suggested hundreds of names, and the staff has whittled down the suggestions to 30. They have to narrow it down to just 10, then will ask the public to vote in the next month or two. Amorphophallus titanum is in the Arum family. The plants are native to the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. The Botanical Gardens, located at 2655 South Park Ave., Buffalo, are open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Holiday hours are 10 a.m. to noon Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
