Re: Two amorphophalluses ... amorphophalli ... whatever

**&* A* <a*@wp.pl>**

Wilbert,

The petiole is smooth with white pattern and the leaf blade is velvety.
This year it looks quite different than a year ago.

I remember I was asking you last year (I asked what attacked the leaf) and

you identified it as atroviridis.

Last year it grew in the garden and the leaf was different (it was divided

into ~20 lobes),

this year it stayed at home on southern window, the leaf is larger, but has

only 10 lobes and it's upper surface is velvety, the petiole is long and the

pattern appeared (see the attached photos).

The older photos you'll find in this page (The first photo doesn't show my

plant):

Hi too,

Well Marek, yes, the plants look similar, but yours is not atroviridis, or
I am suffering from "Amorphophalli Memorii-Degeneratio". I would check if
your plant has a velvety hairy leaf-stalk. My guess is it will be smooth.

Cheers,
Wilbert

Hi,

My atroviridis looks so (new photos attached) and here

I think it's the same species.

Wilbert,

No problem - I haven't had time to look at the tags yet anyway. I'd
hoped
to get to that, and a bunch of other things that need doing in the
greenhouse, over the Labor Day holiday here in the US, but as usual I'm
way behind.

Attached is a picture of the leaf. Both the infloresence and the leaf
are
more open now, and I'll try to take a couple more pictures today.

atroviridis but that was a slip of the braincell. It looks more like
operculatus or like (hard to be sure without leaf).

Sorry 'bout that, Steve.

Wilbert
