Dear Joe,
Send me a pic. and I may be able
to solve your dellima! 8' is NOT tall for a D. gigas, you may have
another species!!
Best Wishes,
Julius

>>I am comfortable with the
identification of my D. gigas but not with its' development. While
aware of the natural degrees of variability among a species I cannot
accont for its' erractic flowering. Despite its age and robust
growth- pedicle 8' tall- its' flower has never opened as in pictures I
have seen. I pine for seeing the lovely crimson color
of the spathe underside. Have opthers experienced this? Is this
natural or is perhaps this another species? Comments?
