Amorphophallus titanum in ground

From: leu242 at yahoo.com (Eric Schmidt) on 2007.10.05 at 21:40:06(16401) Last summer I planted an amorphophallus titanum in the ground here. It was about 2ft tall with a golf ball sized tuber. It went dormant in fall with the rest of the Amorphallus. This spring and summer it did not return. I dug around and couldn't find the tuber. Figured it had rotted, a squirrel dug it up, etc. In the last couple of weeks it began emerging. Here it is today.

I had the same experience that you had with quite a few plants, they have enough strength to make it through one year but not the next. +More Tricia> Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 14:40:06 -0700> From: leu242 at yahoo.com> To: aroid-l at gizmoworks.com> Subject: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum in ground> > > Last summer I planted an amorphophallus titanum in the> ground here.
