Hey, Taylor!
The best thing to do is check out the IAS website: http://www.aroid.org/
Especially the Amorphophallus section: http://www.aroid.org/genera/generapage.php?genus=amorphophallus
This has tons of pictures on the species that you are
interested in.
Scads of information (including photos and detailed descriptions)
is available in Volume 19 of the journal Aroidiana, which is available here: http://www.aroid.org/genera/amorphophallus/journal.php
Dr. Wilbert Hetterscheid is reportedly
working on a manuscript that will tell us everything known about Amorphophallus
up to the date of publication. He also gave us this: http://www.hort.net/lists//aroid-l/sep07/msg00061.html
A while back someone posted to the list an Amorphophallus
soil/dormancy list that would be of benefit to you, which I seem to have
misplaced. If someone else out there could repost it to me I would appreciate
it!
Good luck, Taylor. I hope you have lots of fun growing
these amazing plants. My son started with orchids when he was 12. He is 16 now
and still enjoys them very much. One thing he does that may or may not be an
option for you, is that he volunteers at our local university growing and
propagating their plants. He learns a lot and they often give him plants for
his efforts.
Best
wishes,
