Re: Amorphophallus konjac will bloom!

From: "Clark Weston" <bk161 at rgfn.epcc.edu> on 1999.05.20 at 19:12:12(3378) Hello Fellow Stinker Lovers: I would say that Luis' performance with Konjac has made me really jealous because mine never grow like that. I suggest that we nominate him for the Big Stink award. Ah, but that will probably go to an A amorphophallus. Well, maybe the stinkiest fastest trophy? ;-)) All kidding aside, how do you do it, Luis? Tell us your secrets.
