Re: [Aroid-l] I need information on Amorphophallus Paeonifolius

From: Susan B <honeybunny442 at yahoo.com> on 2008.10.26 at 03:12:57 Very reputable seller, I've bought a few of their plants over the years, they used to have an extensive website before they started doing a lot of ebay sales, I believe they still have specimen plants on their website.  Business is called Out of Africa. I too needed to get a better photo of a plant I bought from them, while it seems to be an Aroid (had a teeny little aroid like inforescence), it was definitely not an Amorph. I'll have to dig through the GH and see if I can find it. Regarding the two different paeoniifolius, I was cleaning out my inbox tonight and found your reference, Ron McHatton answered a paeon. question, said both paeon and some koratensis seem to have varieties- rough and smooth petioles, and difference in height. --- On Sat, 10/25/08, E.Vincent Morano <ironious2@yahoo.com> wrote: From: E.Vincent Morano <ironious2@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] I need information on Amorphophallus Paeonifolius -any experts out there?

At least yours grew. Mine died. But I have seen these new tubers from other sources so you are probably safe. It would be better if you could post pictures of them. --- On Fri, 10/24/08, Ty York <exoticplant07@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Ty York <exoticplant07@yahoo.com> Subject: [Aroid-l] I need information on Amorphophallus Paeonifolius -any experts out there? To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Date: Friday, October 24, 2008, 5:34 PM This is my first year of growing them and mine have not shown any signs of going dormant and we may get our first frost in a week. I was wondering if I should bring them indoors or let the frost get them.   Second question, I had someone tell me that there is 2 different paeonifolius plants. A small variety 3-4 feet and a large variety that gets 9 feet tall, does this sound right? I have searched to no end and found nothing about 2 different ones.   Third question: I bought 3 bulbs last year as a new variety of amorphophallus  stated to be sp. madagascar.  No pics of the plant were avalible or size etc. just sold as new discovery from madagascar and 3 bulbs cost me 100.00. The plants were funny looking very small plants even on the largest bulb 14oz only put up a foot tall plant. No blooms. Have I been taken? I cannot find the seller again and they would not answer emails after I bought them. Bought off ebay :(.     Thanks anyone for any help on this.
