Protarum sechellarum [was: Re: Traffic on Aroid-l]

Aroiders,
Dear Christopher - not only to please you ;-)

I attach some pictures of my Protarum in bloom.

I got the plant in 2015 as a small offset at ebay from a dutch collector and it bloomed two years later.
Due to poor light conditions and too much watering I nearly lost it in 2018 (see last pic)
Now, since I invested in 2 x 100 W LED it does well over winter.

Would someone know if Protarum is an exception to protogyny to prevent selfing in Araceae?
I once had something like a berry with a seedlike  structure; but there was no development/germination.
I ask about selfing since the seller of my plant wrote that selfing is possible in Protarum.

Happy growing,
Bernhard.

To any and all: please send more gratuitous aroid images. They will generate good and useful conversations. I am in an airport right now, heading to the Great Basin Desert for field work. When I am at my hotel I will send images as well.

Happy days,
Christopher

Beautiful Peter! Perhaps my eyes are failing me, so I apologize, but what is this Bucep growing on? Is that a tree or a rock? 😂 I can’t tell. Gratuitous aroids welcome!

I wholeheartedly agree with @Bernhard on how welcome is the renewed traffic on Aroid-l. The amount of supermarket hybrid white noise on FB is becoming quite intolerable.

Here's a gratuitous aroid: Bucephalandra kerangas at the Type locality.

Sarawak greetings!

Peter
