[Aroid-l] no pollen release Amorphophallus

From: <M.van_Dinther at lumc.nl> on 2013.04.16 at 06:58:43 Hi,   One of my Amorphophallus got into flower this year and it seems to be a form of Amorphophallus konjac. The strange thing with this one is that the male flowers did not release any pollen. The whole flower is now collapsing, but still no pollen is released. Has anybody ever seen this before?   Thanks.   Maarten   Here are some pictures of the flower and the leaves. http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/6.jpg.html http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/5.jpg.html http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/4.jpg.html http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/3.jpg.html http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/2.jpg.html http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/1.jpg.html   I also have a picture of the female flowers of all my different A. konjac forms together.   First : unknown Amorphophallus konjac form Second : ‘normal’ Amorphophallus konjac Third : Amorphophallus konjac ‘funky form’ http://s533.photobucket.com/user/maartenvandinther/media/Amorphophallus%20konjac/7.jpg.html     --_000_DAD8C8AD9CD5CB4283F10986AF02B36F241E3ACAMAILMB1lumcnetp_-- --===============6256949886682666706==
