Here you go, Southerner. http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week124.shtml
Nice find! That was a new one to me, I have never seen one of those before. What zone are you in? Is it hardy or do you have to keep it inside for winter? :biggrin:
Do you grow others? We are about to start a new game for someone to win a plant of the A. Konjac soon , hope you'll hang around and play. Games are always free and fun so join in, we'd love to have you.
Thanks for the welcome I am in zone 8b I bring in all mine even though your in central fla it still gets in the 20's a few days out of the year. I have the Konjac's and the corspe lily too.. I have another one I need to id I bragged a GW theres a smart woman over here lol no one there could id giraffes knee's
If you knew how many of these I've killed! I love the patterns on them and the knee, my plant friends in Miami area consider it a terrible pest, a weed! And yet when I used to go to the Aroid show and sale every year I'd buy these and take them home to WI and kill them the following year. A friend in Iowa never had any luck with them, either.
I do have a green form that I got a year or so ago, it is doing very well. But I like the spotted/striped one better.
lol weeds I am not to impressed with the flower on this one My brother was in hollywood for years and for maybe a year I lived in Kendall I hate that place anymore. I endend up homesteding it in central fla but its changing here too. If your up for tradeing theres a man on GW that has a few different looking for a possible trade if either one of you are looking to trade check it out
Hello there I am a new member and was wondering if some one can give me a name for this variety of Amorphophallus,I have been searching everywhere but don't seem to be able to identify it, any help would be greatly appreciated indeed. This plant is growing out in the open in a garden bed....We have very cold winters with heavy frosts and our summers are quite warm to hot..(Southern Tablelands NSW Australia).I thought most Amorphophallus were tropical to sub tropical so this plant might be from another genius altogether...Thank you in advance for any help or answers.
kind regards

Well there have been no posts for quite some time but I got this in an email and decided to post it in caSE ANYONE IS STILL INTERESTED IN THESE [PLANTS
Amorphophallus titanum (Araceae), also called "cadaverous flower"
Has the peculiarity of blooming only during three (3) days every 40 years.
“Do you suppose God gave us a flower that represents the 40 years in the desert”.
"And it only blooms for 3 days - the length of time Jesus died and rose."
I'm still interested in these plants, but only in the science and horticulture.
A. titanum has been bloomed from seed to flower in less than ten years by several parties now. Individual flowers may last from three to six days. Most corpses I've encountered don't smell that bad after three days. Six days, now that's where it is getting near to the A titanum ballpark...
