RE: Alocasia cucullata flower

From: "newton" newton at coiinc.com> on 2000.09.04 at 03:13:27(5335) Can anyone point me to a photo of the bloom/inflorescence for Alocasia cucullata? I have looked throughout the IAS site and related links but have not found +More any information on the flowering details of Alocasia. I suspect it is not very impressive, but I am not sure why I have not found any references. In the pot with my plant is a small, prehistoric-looking shoot (1-1/2") with a very geometric-looking, nodding head on it (3/8" dia.) in dark brown to black. At first I thought it to be some type of fungus bloom. It is very sturdy and is sprouting right up alongside the Alocasia stem. I have not dug down to find its source as of yet. Does this sound familiar? How will this progress and is there anything I can do to make sure it develops to its fullest? Help? This is fascinating. Tim
