Janis-
I do like those funky strange plants!!!!! I don't think I have the one you
mentioned but until today I did think that I had one amorphophallus rivieri
but through another list I'm finding out that it might be something slightly
different. A. rivieri is a much smaller variety. I think that Gene might
sell them at Munchkins but I am not sure. All I know is the one I have was
told to me to be known commonly as the "leopard palm"...my mom-n-law, in
Florida, has one that is very similiar to mine and she calls hers the "voodoo
plant". Mine has never bloomed, her has bloomed a black bloom with a fowl
odor. People are probably wondering why someone would even think to put this
in their garden......because of the foliage--it is awsome!!
I do wish I could have everything---just don't have the room. I'm always
thinking to myself - if only I was in zone 7 I could have so much more...but
if I did I couldn't have the number of tropicals that I do.
Happy gardening
Kemberly McLain
Katy, Texas Zone 9
P.S. My latest "strange" purchase was the tropical vine commonly known as
the Jade Vine Strongylodon macrobotrys and mucana seeds---what will I ever do
with these guys. :o)
