Flowering today ...


Nothing exotic, but still fun.

The Amorphophallus bulbifer is one from a population that are essentially tolerated weeds in an orchid greenhouse in Oklahoma - they grow, they flower, something pollinates them, the seeds come up everywhere, the owner pots up some to get them out of the walkways. I should be so lucky. The weeds in my greenhouse are much less fun.

Taccarum weddellianum is easy and reliable. I have two mature tubers in that pot and both flower every year. I've never gotten seeds, but then I've never tried for them until this year because they always make a few offsets. We'll see.
