Unknown Amo Flower

21 years ago

This is about ten inches high measured from the bottom of the bulb.

I listed some offsets of this on ebay as an "unidentified" Amorphophallus SINCE I HAD NO IDEA WAT IT WAS, and got some snippy messages from members of this forum saying I was irresponsible for not identifying it.

Now maybe one of you smartypants can ID it.

Well here's a news flash. I don't give a hoot what it is!!!!!!!

I just love growing it because it's so much fun digging up 30 or more offsets from one bulb.

Hey Mitch,

I agree with you....who cares!!! People get all whacked out wanting to know species sometimes.....well, if you like it and do not have it then grow it and figure it out!! Heck, we all import lots of stuff from Chen Yi knowing full well that we do not know what she is going to send!! Tuber sort of looks like dunnii, although the flower isn't a dead ringer for the one of the IAS site. What sort of offsets do you get?? Happy growing :o) Dan

Most of the offsets are still attached. You should be able to see them covering the mother bulb in the picture. They are small, about 3/4 inch long by 1/2 inch wide.
