Opening up a bit more.

Lookin good. You must be in the southern hemisphere.

That would be a yes...Tropic is an aussie...lucky duck can grow all kinds of rain forest type plants right out in the yard.

I am SO jealous! :)

Yes, they're native to this area, so we have them all around out bush. That's how this one would have got here, in a truck load of soil I'd got brought in. Amorph. galbra is another that's native to this area

it's pretty wicked!

Yes, they're quite different. Here's one a couple years ago that I grew. It really opened out well.

I love aroids in general and collect whatever I can get my hands on,but there has to be an exception in amorphs. As much as I adore the foliage,if one were to bloom in the apartment while overwintering(assuming that could happen)I'm pretty sure the landlord would kill me. lol

The landlord wouldn't kill you, smell of the Amorphs would first, LOL.

Question now is,..which would smell worse...my dead body...or the amorph? lol

In actual fact Amorphs have a variety of smells. I understand one smells of chocolate. The paeoniifolius isn't all that strong (or mine aren't) and have a bit of a stale urine odour. The A. bulbifera seemed more like sewerage. My gigas was definitely corpse odour. So you see, you can have a choice, LOL. (But also note, mine aren't in a confined indoor place.)

Confined chocolate sounds appealing enough...just did a quick search that didn't really get me anywhere...wouldn't have any leads on it,would you?

Now, how did I guess you'd go for the chocolate out of all those choices? Can't remember now which one it was. Came across it while dong bit if research.

Did a search and came up with Amorphophallus manta. All I can find out about it was on a French site which only said it came from Sumatra (not all that far from me in fact, but too far for a quick trip over).

Manta,..check!

That's a lead!
Thanks!

I wonder if when an amorph was blooming,..like...if you could maybe trap it in a sealed environment like a terrarium and effectively keep the odor from flooding the apartment...I'm dreaming,aren't I?

Sze would be the problem, most would be too tall. Although, it's mainly the leaf that's tall, apart from things like ttanum and gigas. The inflorescence on paeoniifolius is very short compared to the leaf. Could possibly fit into a large terrarium.
