Re: Amorphophallus konjac will bloom!

Perhaps Walter one can look about and glean the rewards and innovations of 
others in other areas and then apply and alter to one's own benefit. I too 
live in an area of the country where it is cold in the winter and hot in the 
summer. I have found by being willing to look, listen and observe, one can 
make adjustments that make it easier to grow that which we wish to grow. And 
yes, it can be expensive  and at times, difficult. The rewards can be great. 
I have found that I can grow things that they in south Florida say they 
cannot. I do believe that often the attitude is the determining factor. One 
non success does not necessarily make a failure. Try and try again until one 
comes to the conclusion, for now, this is not in the successful agenda. I 
know Julius seemed amazed that I had grown dracontium from seed. I was 
shocked that he could be surprised. I had no problem. Would I have tried if I 
had known that it was 'impossible' to do? I did not know it was impossible 
and low and behold, I have done it many times. You see, look at the glass 
half full and you can learn that what you don't know at times can be to your 
benefit. Believe. Do without expectations. Go with the intuition. Amazing 
things happen! 

Good growing with much joy.
