The best and least expensive single source of information on the genus Amorphophallus, including B&W pictures, is Volume 19 of Aroideana. Although I can not afford to subscribe, I did buy this as a back issue and it's my bible. A. henryi is unbelievable--we'll have to share notes on germination since you're so close. Carlo Carlo A.

A real good photo of A. henri (and about 30++ other Amorphophallus species) is the 1996 issue of Aroideana, published by the international aroid society. The bloom appears to be rather short but the spadix is very long and tapered, the spathe is little more than a ruffled collar. Its a black and white photo, but the caption says the spathe is a light green color. Roger L. Sieloff

From: Wilbert Hetterscheid <hetter at vkc.nl> on 1998.01.05 at 16:56:13(1808) Dear henryi freaks, The caption of the photo in Aroideana 19 of A. henryi, also says that the inside of the spathe is maroon, which is the more striking part compared to the spathe outside, which is green indeed. Beware that seeds of henryi may take more than a year to germinate, or it may be shorter, so don't despair when it takes a while.

From: Don Martinson <llmen at execpc.com> on 1999.04.21 at 15:19:44(3290) I was just reviewing some of my old saved mail and found a couple of the posts from the distribution of the Amorphophallus henryi seeds in December of 1997. Just to confirm that patience IS a virtue, all 5 of my seeds have finally germinated (4/99). I had placed them in a zip-lock plastic bag with coarse peatmoss - just barely moist. Any hints for how best to care for the new babies - that is, anything special?
