in the good tradition of non-slipper photos...

[MoreWater]

yeah, I know. I never have slipper pix to post....

This is my current favorite droolicious plant. I got it from a friend as a little nubby corm.




Amorphophallus atroviridis

 

[likespaphs]

wow. that's got neat picotee.
i have an A bulbifer that has a light pink strip but it's the only one i had seen with the picotee. i was wondering if it was common or not....
neat!

 

[SlipperFan]

That's an Amorphophallus I've never seen -- cool!

 

[MoreWater]

The pink margin was a total surprise - aren't too many good pictures of this one out there.

I just realized how silly my comment about it arriving as a corm sounds. How else does an Amorph ever arrive?

:clap::clap::clap:That's really neat!!!

That is just stunning. Your photo is way more appealing than the one on the plantdelights.com site.

A really nice photo and a stunning plant, I love it!

... Your photo is way more appealing than the one on the plantdelights.com site.

In all fairness, landscaping to get light-soaking black foliage behind it would be kinda difficult :rollhappy:

But yeah, when I first received the corm, I googled for pix and wasn't impressed. Now, however.....:drool:

Hot! :drool::drool::drool:

Aroids are my second love. They can be almost as addictive as orchids. Only an addict would bloom Amorphophallus konjac indoors, right?

what are you saying about me?

If I hadn't killed off yet another by trying to overwinter it in a pot outside, I would bloom it indoors too!

It is so nice to have a support group.

Oh, I think we all know about you....oke:

Ki, that's a fabulous plant! Love it!

 

[biothanasis]

Fantastic, Ki!

[streetmorrisart]

Gorgeous!

Wow!!!!!! I love it! I want one! Is it hardy in Z7? I grow A. bulbifer and A. konjac, which come up every year for me....they never bloom for me, but do survive every year...and with that one, I wouldn't care if it never bloomed...
Take care, Eric
