The flowers of ZZ

From: "Abrimaal Svartvinter" abrimaal at o2.pl> on 2005.02.11 at 20:14:15(12667) Hello, For the first time I saw my Zamioculcas in bloom. Do the flowers have a perigon or perianth? What's the difference between perigon and perianth? +More The photos you can see here: http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/zamioculcas/zamioculcasp.htm#infl Marek Argent _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

We have an article on the taxonomy of Zamioculcas coming in the Aroideana that will be out in late summer, possibly with a small additional piece on their huge jump into favour as a house plant, if I can stir my lazy bones. I might ask you for a couple of pictures if that comes to pass – any chance? Perigone is a word for a perianth in which the parts are undifferentiated (so all perigones are perianths, but not all perianths are perigones!). Those little nubbins which all look alike make it a perigone if you want to use the word that is very often chosen when describing the perianth of individual flowers in the Araceae.

Ours have not yet gone to bloom; it is nice to see the inflorescence maturing. Not knowing your language; are we to presume they dried up and did not form infructesence (as seen in bottom right hand photo?) How many years did it take your plant to produce bloom? At what zone, temperature and humidity level are you growing them?

By mistake I added the link to a page in an "unidentified" language, sorry, the correct link (to the same page in English) is below: +More http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/zamioculcas/zamioculcas.htm#infl I bought this one in 2002 in a local garden shop, it was 55 cm (almost 2 ft) tall then. Now the leaves are about 120 cm long (4 ft), but the longest ones aren't standing vertically, they're curved down. I'm growing it indoors, at home and I don't care a lot for any special conditions. This URL will tell you how the inflorescence behaved and there's no possibility of self-pollination, because when the male flowers began to produce pollen, the female ones had hid the stigmata. There should be at least 2 inflorescences blooming in an interval of 2-3 days.
