Unusual aroid found in greenhouse

From: Pugturd at aol.com on 2000.06.20 at 22:14:11(4861) Hello this is Brian Williams. This morning before work I was out in the greenhouse picking weeds and looking at the plants. When I found a most unusual aroid growing. This looks very unusual It looks like an Amorphophallus with a white and brown stalk and green leafs. But on the edge of the leafs is a neon pink color that just looks amazing. Does anyone know what this maybe? I plan to post a few pictures of it as soon as possible. Of course the pot looked like it had another plant that died in it and were this thing came from I have no idea. Is their any forms of amorpho with this unusual neon pink color on the edges of the leafs?? THANKS

Let's wait Wilbert's opinion, but you can try this by now!

From: "Plantsman" plantsman at prodigy.net> on 2000.06.21 at 03:05:02(4869) Hi Brian, I had an A. konjac that did this a couple of years ago when is was a quarter-size corm. The next year it appeared normal (wah!). I have no idea why this one did this and only for one season. +More David Sizemore plantsman@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2000 6:14 PM Subject: Unusual aroid found in greenhouse : Hello this is Brian Williams.

From: Jody Haynes webmaster at plantapalm.com> on 2000.06.21 at 03:08:27(4870) I have a large A. bulbifer and many that I have grown from the "bulbs"...and none of them have any pink in the leaves. This sounds very intriguing...as well as very inviting! I look forward to additional posts on this thread.

From: mb.cfg at mindspring.com on 2000.06.21 at 03:55:02(4872) Dear Brian/Eduardo, I have to agree, A. bulbifer makes the pink leaf edges.. Does muelleri also?

From: Tim & Mary McNinch Newton at coiinc.com> on 2000.06.21 at 03:58:38(4873) Brian: Possibly Am. bulbifer. The almost iridescent pink is familiar. I have one about to send up a leaf. I will watch it closely. The leaf is definitely tri-foliate shape, should be deep green. Tim +More Pugturd@aol.com wrote: > Hello this is Brian Williams.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2000.06.22 at 00:40:50(4879) Brian, There are several species of phalloids with the pink margin, notably A. atroviridis (which has a velvety haired leaf stalk), A. saururus (formerly misidentified in aroid circles as A. parvulus), A, henryi (some clones), A. kiusianus, A. hirtus, A. nov. sp. Thailand etc. So, bottom line: make the pictures available and I'll have a shot at it.

From: Michael Marcotrigiano marcotrigiano at pssci.umass.edu> on 2000.06.22 at 00:42:22(4880) bulbifer can have shocking pink edges, muelleri seedlings do. I'd guess bulbifer - much more common and the leaf produces a tuber on the top which can be ejected when it dies - (onto your greenhouse floor?) +More At 05:14 PM 06/20/2000 -0500, you wrote: >Hello this is Brian Williams.

From: Jody Haynes webmaster at plantapalm.com> on 2000.06.22 at 00:58:21(4883) I must recall my last statement after closely examining my smaller A. bulbifer plants. Each leaflet has a thin, faint, pink (ruffled) edge. I would not have noticed it had I not been looking for it.
