[Aroid-l] Kalabenono Amoorphophallus petiole variations

From: plantguy at zoominternet.net (Daniel Devor) on 2007.12.22 at 20:25:54(16852) Hi John, Guess it is just me or maybe experience, but the petioles you show are not all that different for a species in my opinion. Other common species like bulbifer display far more variation than that as do others like konjac, mulerii, etc, etc. Happy Holidays all, Dan +More Dan Devor, Gibsonia, PA zone 6a ----- Original Message ----- From: John Ludwig To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2007 2:27 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Kalabenono Amoorphophallus petiole variations Sorry Ken and all others on aroid-l for my forgetting to mention that I was referring the the Unnamed species from Madagascar that have been recently sold on eBay by Out of Africa. Two have recently emerged from dormancy and more are on the way. There was just in my opinion a great amount of variation between the two that have fully emerged from dormancy that I was wondering if others have noticed such variation. I have another that is just now emerging from the (bracts?) that surround the Petiole as it emerges from the soil, and the bracts look almost exactly the same shade and markings as the darker spotted petioled Amorph in the pictures. thanks, John.

And then there's the occasional sport that looks very, very different. I also have to admit that I don't know what "Kalabenono" is. Is that a location? -Ken John Ludwig wrote: > I have a few different petiole variations so far. > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberE11-21-200712.jpg > > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberE11-16-200727.jpg > > > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberE11-16-200701.jpg > < http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberE11-16-200701.jpg> > > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberC11-28-200708.jpg > > > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberC12-17-200710.jpg > < http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberC12-17-200710.jpg> > > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberC12-17-200706.jpg > > > > http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberC12-17-200704.jpg > < http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/araceaelover/TuberC12-17-200704.jpg> > > > > Does anybody else have similar variations? _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L at www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L at www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
