  Amorph gigas
From: santoury at aol.com on 2011.01.05 at 16:50:18(21708)
Hey guys

This forum has been dead, so I figured I'd give everyone a shout - Happy New Year!

I'm looking for a source of Amorph gigas. Anyone?

Best, Jude

Jude,

If you want so badly to be active, why don’t
you write something for Aroideana or the Newsletter. My deadline for Aroideana
is Right now, But the Newsletter has a little time to go (and I will stretch
mine for something of value).

Hello,

I'm not sure how writing for Aroideana would translate into a more active e-mail forum? I'm by no means a profesional Aroid grower, so I'm not sure how much I might contribute.

Best, Jude

Jude, as you know, Aroideana is about the
only thing that we put into members’ hands (many other less tangible
benefits of membership, of course), and the journal needs to have articles of
interest to all members to complement its important function as a solid
publication place for aroid research. You obviously do a lot of aroid growing,
so do you have any special ways of storing your plants that go dormant, or
bringing them back to activity, tricks in nutrition that affect their growth,
awful mistakes that others might want to avoid, particulars of supplementary lighting,
propagation experiences – there could well be something of general
interest. I am not looking for the really superficial stuff that the weekly
newspaper article or beginner gardening magazine might want, but you can judge
the experience level (and the range of skills and interests0 that get raised on
aroid-l and respond to that. I wouldn’t guarantee to publish every submission,
but would certainly help with getting things into shape.

With respect to the hiatus on aroid-l –
it happens from time to time. This time it might have been pushed along (n the
south and west at least) by the need to give cold protection to the things that
we grow in spite of knowing that we shouldn’t … We have just had
three reminders that South Florida is not Costa Rica !

Regards, Derek

Jude, Finding a gigas is next to impossible. Ive seen them on ebay for hundreds of dollars. Your best bet is to do a search for amorphophallus(click advanced and search world wide) on ebay and after you do the search near the top, look for "save search" and save it for 12 months. Every day you will get an email showing the results for that search. If the search results in your daily email contain 12 items, click "see all results" in the bottom left hand corner of the email because the max ebay will send and theres probably more to see.

I refuse to participate in the recession,

it has been my experience that when you look for a KNOWN RARITY on
ebay the price is loon-city; however, if you whine and beg and moan
among those who are likely to grow these things, sooner or later
someone will take pity on you and sell you one at a reasonable price
or trade you one for some spare automobile you may not be using. the
very IDEA of buying a Sansevieria (the thing I know best) on ebay is
enough to make me cover my ears and shriek while running out of the room.
