Amorphophallus titanum seeds are germinating


Hello All,

I and others corresponded here a while back with regard to inadvertent self-pollination of our Amorphophallus titanum plant (Perry) this past summer.  We expected the resulting seeds to be sterile, but that is not the case - I and a friend have germinated > 50 out of about 200 (so far).  For photos and further information, see:
