Re: [Aroid-l] A. konjac late emerging

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2010.07.23 at 10:44:06(21237) It's not at all uncommon for a konjac (and perhaps other species), after blooming, to rest an entire year before resprouting. Sometimes, when I watch the grow rate of the inflorescence, it's no wonder the tuber says (planthropomorphcally) "I'm pooped!"
