Amorphophallus titanum bloom from a 20lb tuber

[JRFxtreme]

I'm surprised it's blooming at a such a relatively small size.

And soon your yard will smell like rotting corpses. On the plus side I bet your Nepenthes will catch a lot of flies.

That's awesome! I love the dark spadix.

Relatively small? I don't care how big the tuber is, that thing is an enormous flower.

I wish I could have found some pollen for it, but looks like time is almost up.

I have a few more young Amorphophallus titanum that I was lucky enough to get as seeds, Amorphophallus bulbifer, Amorphophallus paeoniifolius and Typhonium venosum which is the only other one I've had flower. Smelled just like elephants.

The ant plants in the picture are a Myrmecodia sp. from Irian Jaya and Hydnophytum formicarum from Singapore. I also grow Myrmecodia sp. "Pink fruit", Myrmecodia tuberosa and a few more species but can't remember the names right now.

It's a bad one, huh? No scent on the A. titanum just yet.

I sort of came upon a titanum today by accident haha

 

[SFLguy]

And yeah it's worse haha

 

[JRFxtreme]

I took one more pic before the rains hit.

It's crazy how many are blooming this year. Really wish I could have found a source for pollen.

I wish I'd known about this one sooner, they sent some pollen around and should have pollinated it
It's so weird that they all did this year

Last nights storm roughed the flower up some. The smell is similar to a rotting fish carcass.

That's one way to keep from having to interact with the neighbors. :devil:
