[Aroid-l] Initiation of Flowering in Amorphophallus

It has always been an embarrassment that we, among all the institutions in the world practically, have not flowered this species even though we have had the species from the earliest days. Anyway, I am now asking for advice from those of you who have flowered this species if you know of any way it can be induced to flower. I know that many of you do not actually want your plants of Amorphophallus to flower but if you have any ideas about what would induce these "lazy" plants of mine to flower (short of killing it) please let me know.
