Dear All,
As my greenhouse gradually becomes impenetrable with the giant umbrella leaves
of some Amorphophallus leaves, I need your help!
I grow three different species, at least according to the people I got them
from. One is A.konjac, that is sure because it is of flowering size and has
flowered many times. The other two have not flowered and are A. johnsonii from
Mr Thomerson and A.suaveolens from Fausto Ceni this one being relatively small.
Now: All the leaves of these ever increasing giants look absolutely identical
and it starts to dawn on me that the two others are A. konjac, too. In that
case, of course, they would fall victim, no, not to the compost heap but to one
of the BXes.
Can anybody help me in identifying them without flowers? Are the leaves of the
above species identical to A.konjac? Do these species exist after all? Are
there differences in the way the leaflets are attached to the main ribs? Stem
colouring? size and number of leaflets in relation to plant size and so on?
Looking forward to get some urgent help...... should you not hear from me for
some time, it's because I didn't find my way out of my greenhouse!
Uli
