Phalloid Regularity

From: Don Burns donburns at macconnect.com> on 2000.07.12 at 03:32:51(5062) I hate to be a spoil-sport, but most of my phalloids are on schedule, as usual. The sole species that is not on schedule is titanum. But then titanum has no schedule. Two of them crashed over the last six weeks, but three have awakened in the same period. I suspect that the lack of regularity may have something to do with the somewhat irregular weather in the more northern climates some of you live in. Here in 10b temperature and humidity levels are very predictable and consistent year to year. The down side is that we frequently have evenings/nights like tonight: temp = 81degF, RH = 90+%. (But the plants love it.) Don Burns +More Fort Lauderdale FL USA Zone 10b

But one oddity I've noted, the first aroid to sprout and bloom every year (OK, the 2 years I've had it) is my Arisema candidissimum (pink version). This blooms very early and smells like cotton candy. But accounts I've read call it a late riser, often not until June. I think mine came up late Feb or early March. Susan +More PS. Keep up the flow of emails, I was on vacation for a week and was pleasantly surprised to download so many Aroid-Ls when I returned.

Hey Sue, how's the voodoo lilies and the Pinellia? Bonaventure
