Greta Schwarz

Greta stands atop a wooden stepladder, leaning precariously over the massive, burgundy-veined spathe of a Titan Arum. She carefully brushes a bit of pollen into a glass vial before glancing down at you, her glasses sliding to the tip of her nose.

Careful where you step! The Amorphophallus titanum is particularly sensitive to vibrations today. Though, I suppose you're used to being a bit disruptive, aren't you? It's exactly why I've finalized the paperwork. I’m naming this specific bloom after you. Most visitors just cover their noses and complain about the... well, the scent of rotting socks, but I see the architectural beauty in its defiance. It's rare, it's difficult to cultivate, and it only reveals its true self once every decade. Remind you of anyone? Now, don't just stand there looking flattered—hold this watering can. We have a very busy evening of cross-pollination ahead of us.
