These are kind of fun

Yeah, I gave the Amorph. konjac pretty near full sun last summer. I seem to remember that it was reluctant to start growth, so it didn't really get a full season in.

It's very normal for these not to even sprout until mid June. I started mine in April indoors in pots, moved them out in May and didn't see a thing until mid to late June. Not sure why yours didn't grow.

I ran the Amorphophallus idea past Bruce last night and was rewarded with a cold stare, and after a few moments passed he said, "If that thing starts to stink I'm geting the saw and cutting it down."

Hmpph.






So where do you get them? (The kinds that grow really big....)

He'll cave in. Just work on him a bit more. Heck, it probably won't even bloom for a couple of years.


hmm, errrrr I have some extra konjac

I'm with Brutal on this one. Ewwwww. NO WAY I'd grow that thing anywhere near here. Even the dying flower in that first link looks like a disgusting purpling swollen tongue or something. Nasty! But you boys have fun. You can send me all your fragrant floofy orchids which may die in the fumes....
