Re: Typhonium violifolium -revisited

From: "James W. Waddick" jim-jim at swbell.net> on 2000.08.01 at 04:30:48(5195) Pete, Wilbert, Don etc; In looking over the earlier comments on this species, I have a few 'experiences' to add. One leaf is making a small bulbil at the intersection of the leaf blade and the petiole (ala P cordata etc), but no sign (yet) of anything at the leaf tip. The single flower (so far) was given multiple sniff tests at various times of the day/night and NO scent was ever detected - just me ? +More I see another inflorescence just emerging. Older leaves have risen themselves perhaps an inch above the soil surface - no longer flat on the ground. We have a lot of very untypical rain here (but may be more typical for this plant in habitat) which may be related ??? Remains a most curious little plant. Now up-potted and in half day sun.
