Re: World's Largest Flower


I'm with you, Gene....here's a photo of one of the Cobra Lilies, Arisaema
griffithii var. pradhanii - very like the one I found  a few years ago that
turned me into and Arisaema nut.....how can you resist plants like these? 
The world of Aroids is strange and wondrous....actually pretty incredible.

who was overjoyed to find her Amorphophallus konjac not only lives, but has
split so there are two of them....now, if it/they would only bloom for me! 
Perhaps they need more sun; very late to come up, it seems...thought for
sure I'd lost it this year.
