Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (#2741) about to bloom Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (#2318) about to bloom Amorphophallus muellerii (#2743) about to bloom A number of the pseudodracontiums are beginning to emerge from dormancy. They often produce leaves right along with the inflorescence. Titan Watch: Amorphophallus titanum (#83) = 9" tall and very fat growth above the soil surface. Still don't know if it is an inflorescence or not. Craig M.
