Flowering season for asian Amorphophalluses

From: ken at spatulacity.com on 2004.04.27 at 15:51:15(11440) My imperfect understanding of the asian Amorphs would have them flowering at the beginning of the rainy season. Is that correct? If so, is it sort of generally correct or is it excellently correct (or am I a dunderhead)? I'm specifically curious at what time of year the Javan species would most likely be producing the inflorescence, and if multiple species would do so within a narrowish window of time in relation to each other. I thank the experts in advance! -Ken

For example, A. obscurus is always flowering in late dry season or beginning of rainy season while A. polyanthus which is naturally grow in the same area flowering in the late of rainy season. I'm not sure if this is a natural interbreed prevention, very interesting. Chanrit Sinhabaedya +More Bangkok, Thailand.
