Re: Currently flowering - Amorphophallus napalensis

Hilarious anecdote—a nod to all the friends & family who tolerate (& more if we’re lucky!) the lesser-valued joys of aroids! Nice to “meet” you Steve!

My first P. billietiea arrived in the mail today so I am in aroid heaven welcoming a new arrival to my collection! This is probably considered a very common specimen to all the experts here but I thought I would contribute to the gratuitousness in my moment of swoon. Off to pot!


Happy May!

Cathy came back to the house the other day and said "If one of your
aroids isn't blooming then something died in the greenhouse."

But of course any connoisseur of stinky plants knows this one is a
lightweight, barely moving the needle on the funkometer (a Futurama
reference, not music). Wait until the A. henryi flowers! I recall going
up to MoBot to visit Tom many years ago and seeing a blooming henryi
outside on the concrete because the workers couldn't stand to be in the
greenhouse with it.
