From: Ron McHatton rmchatton at photocircuits.com> on 2002.06.27 at 21:39:48(9028) My clone flowered last year and the tuber has rested for an entire year. It emerged from dormancy about four weeks ago. As for the fragrance discussion, be thankful you apparently cannot smell many of these plants. The level of stench is not overrated. I flowered A. sumawongii last year and the little flower filled the entire 600 square foot greenhouse on a couple of mornings and could even be detected outside the greenhouse. I also flowered two clones of A. longituberosus this spring. One of them with a very small inflorescence had virtually no detectable odor, but the larger one was quite powerful. The only difference I can see is that the odorless one had a very small female zone. It will be interesting to smell this one on later, larger flowerings. Two years ago I flowered a clone of A. abysinnicus and our neighbors wanted to know if I was using cow manure as fertilizer. They could smell it in their back yard. The last couple of mornings, A. fallax has been "perfuming" the entire terrace. These little flowers are only about 3 inches long and the stench is so strong that our neighbor commented about something foul when he went out to run. He was smelling it from some 75 feet away.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2002.06.28 at 02:44:25(9030) That's strange because sumawongii is one of the species that usually does produce a new leaf after the flower has died without setting seeds. You just have to keep the plant warm and moist. Other species will always refuse to do it.

(Check all comments) - They only stink in closed places, like greenhouses. They are cruel plants indeed! +More (I couldn?t resist) Eduardo. >From: Ron McHatton >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: RE: Amorph. growth after flowering Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 16:39:46 >-0500 (CDT) > >My clone flowered last year and the tuber has rested for an entire year. > It emerged from dormancy about four weeks ago.
