Seedlings Available

From: "Darnowski, Douglas William" <ddarnows at ius.edu> on 2004.09.28 at 12:18:44(12227) Hello. I am new to the listserv, a botanist from Indiana. I joined because I'm looking to get rid of some seedling Amorphophallus plants. The seed came from a plant I got from a friend in Hawaii who got a small tuber from a friend in Indonesia (I think, might have been somewhere near Indonesia). After about 3 years and when the tuber weighed a pound or two, it flowered--the spadix was maybe 18-24 inches high, fruit went from green to yellow to red. Leaves when on the flowering-sized plants before it flowered were maybe 30 inches high. Clearly from Amorphophallus, but I don't know the species. A list member, who suggested I join, and who I've swapped seed of this with said it looked like it might be A. bulbifer, or perhaps A. konjac or A. muelleri. This is my only aroid--I grow and do research on carnivorous plants. If anyone would like to swap for a seedling with 3-4" tall leaves, please email me at ddarnows@ius.edu. Alternatively, I could sell them for $5 each plus postage. Thanks, Doug +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

However, I would suggest, and others will be quick to correct me if I'm wrong here, that generally A. muelleri seedlings have a lovely pinkish edge around the entire perimeter of the leaf as seedlings (at least on the few that I have seen), but I don't think that the same coloration is present with either A. bulbifer or A. konjac.

From: "MJ Hatfield" <mjhatfield at oneota.org> on 2004.10.27 at 22:30:39(12319) Doug and Jon, The seedlings I rec'd from Doug "did" have pink edges and I "guessed" they were bulbifer. My other bulbifers have pink edges. Also, I did receive the jpg over Aroid-L.
