  Is this Amorphophallus stipitatus ?
From: "Rainer Holtappels" <rainer at holtappels-nettetal.de> on 2007.06.12 at 18:01:24(15776)
Hi all,

last year I bought a tuber as Amorphophallus stipitatus. Now it builds
up the first inflorescence. Because I have not found many pictures about
stipitatus my question: is it really one ?

Very peculiar is, that there was developed a second spadix ( without
spathe).

Best regards

Rainer

Dear Rainer,

one of the picture reminds me of albus.
