The second one bloomed at Animal Kingdom on May 14th. I took my nursery crew up on Sunday the 18th and the bloom was, of course, closed up by then. It was about 6 1/2' tall and still looked to be in good shape. It was pollinated with the pollen collected from the EPCOT specimen that bloomed a few weeks earlier.
The display was at the Train Depot in Africa.
Here's a picture of one of my guys with the Titan (his wet shirt shows evidence of his trip on the the Kali River raft).
