Hi Brian
Pleased that it was a success. Our established nursery stocks of A. robsuta
are now beginning to produce seed reliably regularly such that we will very
soon be able to offer large quantities of young plants of the Sarawak form
(purple-flushed petioles, spathe with the lower part tubular white and the
spathe limb violet, spadix smelling of decomposing beef extract) of A.
robusta.
We also have in cultivation the Sabah form (green petioles, spathe limb
greenish white, spadix smelling strongly fruity) but are not at the moment
able to offer plants for sale as we have yet to get seed from our stock
plants.
