COOL! i wonder how i can get it to set seed? -- tsuh yang in nyc

From: GeoffAroid at aol.com on 2002.05.14 at 20:52:40(8778) Tsuh yang, Ulearum will bloom regularly every year about this time, often producing large numbers of bloom (I havent got mine to set seed yet) but be aware that there is often leaf die back shortly afterwards - dont panic! It should then send up new leaf growth some time afterwards. Its a beautiful plant and so far for me has proven easy to grow in warm, bright conditions. Geoffrey Kibby +More London

But a hairy spathe.......?

From: Piabinha at aol.com on 2002.05.14 at 21:35:55(8786) yes, of course, his lordness is correct. the spadix is "hairy", with weird filaments coming out of it, not the spathe. geoff, thanks for your email too. is your plant sagitattum? where did you obtain that? mine i'm told is a new undescribed species. i'll have to go home now and smell my sumawongii again. >A hairy SPATHE??????????

From: GeoffAroid at aol.com on 2002.05.15 at 02:46:52(8792) tsuh yang, Yes, my Ulearum is sagittatum courtesy of David Scherberich. Yours is a new species? (Can you see me drooling already, my skin is a delicate shade of green.....). Regarding the smell of sumawongii the phenomenon of odours actually increasing or changing with distance from the source is a common one and occurs in other organisms too. My other specialty is fungi and several stinkhorn fungi (Phallus species) smell completely different at a distance than they do closeup (foul closeup, of hycinth from afar). Perhaps some change occurs when the molecules are diffused through the air. I believe Amyl acetate, which is used in the food industry, also tastes and smells very differently depending upon the concentration. Regards, Geoffrey Kibby
