Re: I need information on Amorphophallus Paeonifolius -any experts out there?

In regards to the tubers from Madagascar, if memory servers me correctly the sellers name is  "african-plants" and they are a very reputable seller. At least yours grew. Mine died. But I have seen these new tubers from other sources so you are probably safe. It would be better if you could post pictures of them.

This is my first year of growing them and mine have not shown any signs of going dormant and we may get our first frost in a week. I was wondering if I should bring them indoors or let the frost get them.
 
Second question, I had someone tell me that there is 2 different paeonifolius plants. A small variety 3-4 feet and a large variety that gets 9 feet tall, does this sound right? I have searched to no end and found nothing about 2 different ones.
 
Third question: I bought 3 bulbs last year as a new variety of amorphophallus  stated to be sp. madagascar.  No pics of the plant were avalible or size etc. just sold as new discovery from madagascar and 3 bulbs cost me 100.00. The plants were funny looking very small plants even on the largest bulb 14oz only put up a foot tall plant. No blooms. Have I been taken? I cannot find the seller again and they would not answer emails after I bought them. Bought off ebay :(.
 
 
Thanks anyone for any help on this. Ty
