Re: Amorphophallus ID please

Thanks Christopher,

indeed a nice plant / spec.

Hopefully many of the "old" experts are still around - I guess no one deliberately unsubscribed  from the aroid-L and so all might notice the newly traffic her - and say goodbye to FB... ;.-)

The seeds were firm at harvest and I expected a normal germination after a while, but I found nothing left than the seed coat after maybe 6 month in damp sphagnum.

Happy growing,
Bernhard.

That is a beautiful plant. I wish Wilbert were still on here . . . he would know it straight away.

Are the seed viable?

Amorphophiles,

I got this specimen as aff. beccarii from a friend.
It divided and I ended up with two tubers flowering; the spatha turned form green to a lemon yellow; there was no scent at all.
I could pollinate the second flower with pollen of the first, so it was a selfing.
The about 20 seeds I could sow finally in sphagnum rotted unfortunately.

Since the flower does not resemble the one pictured here:
http://www.aroid.org/genera/speciespage.php?genus=amorphophallus&species=beccarii
I wonder if it could be beccarii or another spec.

BTW, the pictures are from 2022 and just now there are two flower buds growing again.

Looking forward to any comment.

Happy blooming, Bernhard.
