It's a smelly one
Paphraguy August 14th, 2007, 11:44 AM Very fascinating looking plant!
Shady Character August 14th, 2007, 11:54 AM I think this may actually by Typhonium sauromatum and not Amorphophallus konjac. I've got several of these --they reproduce easily-- and have had one survive for a few years now in the ground here in zone 5. They do stink!
Paphi August 14th, 2007, 11:54 AM so pretty:heart::heart:
goldenrose August 14th, 2007, 11:56 AM I'll pass on this one & enjoy looking at your pics instead!

Paphy57 August 14th, 2007, 12:04 PM Doesn't look like a konjac to me too.
It is very nice, though!! :thumbsup:

perhaps i'm reading too much into this but are you saying that plants often sold as A. konjac may be T. sauromatum or is it that the case in this particular instance?
(i just got me an A. henryii and a Taccarum weddelianum at a plant swap but may have killed my A. titan)
Nynaeve August 14th, 2007, 12:36 PM Oh my...what a looooooong thingie it has!:p
Paul B August 14th, 2007, 01:49 PM Very unusual looking plant. Is that the whole flower or the plant and flower?
Slipperguy August 14th, 2007, 04:11 PM Super cool lily plant...thnx :cool:

I think it's just this particular instance. I may be completely wrong and am quite willing to be corrected, but the flowers and leaves of the two are pretty different. I've not bloomed that particular Amorphophallus species, but images I've seen of it are not like the one above. A. konjac is another quick multiplier making multiple offsets in a season so it's not rare despite being, in my opinion, very special.
Ray, I have several plants of A. konjac if you'd like one. Just give me a holler and I'll shoot one off to you this fall when they go dormant.
Ron-NY August 14th, 2007, 06:43 PM very cool Ray !!! I like!!!

I don't know where the "lily" came from - it certainly looks like an aroid to me - amorphophallus something, or the typhonium, but konjac is sort of a maroon red, not mottled like that.
budsbud August 14th, 2007, 10:12 PM Wow...that is just so dang interesting!!!
rdlsreno August 14th, 2007, 11:54 PM Still nice to me!!:Party:
