Steve, In the 2008 volume of Aroideana on pages 120 to 123, Dr. Paul Resslar reported in his article "The inflorescence of Caladium humboldtii Schott" how he used gibberellic acid to induce flowering in that previously unknown to flower species. One of the orginal reports of using gibberellic acid to induce flowering in aroids was by Dr. Jake Henny of the University of Florida in 1995: Best regards, Scott

I just received a "lecture" on one of the garden sites. As a result I'd like to know if anyone on this board has successfully used gibberellic acid to induce the production of an inflorescence with aroid species. I have no need to try this but my curiosity is making me want to know. I suggested the individual check the results on Aroid l that are available on the net since as I read those some of our best and brightest are skeptical. http://www.hort.net/lists/aroid-l/search.pl
Now I guess I'll be off to my "blackboard" to write whatever it is I'm supposed to write 1000 times. Also, would some of you remind me not to try to help??? And don't worry, I won't bother to respond on that post again.
Thanks!
