Good and bad news: My plant
is starting to flower, and I have nowhere to place it outside.!
This might be
the flower and fruit of an other Amorphophallus, but it is pretty
close.

This member of the Araceae
family was described by Karl
Heinrich Emil Koch in 1858. It is found in China to Vietnam,
growing in a rich peat with lots of water in summer. The single leaf
of the flower will get 175 centimetres high, the sub-terrain bulb 40 centimetres
in diameter. The extreme large flower is dark red-brown, and stinks!
The plant can be reproduced both by seeds and dividing of the bulbs.
SubFamily: Aroideae,
Tribe: Thomsonieae
This plant has a
sub-terrain bulb, and is a little out of my league, but who would
turn an offer like this down. I couldn't say No to Alex.
