Re: [Aroid-l] An Amorphophallus gigas blooms in California

From: bonaventure at optonline.net on 2009.05.21 at 21:13:49(19349) Hi Bill,   Can you save some pollen in an envelope and keep dry and refrigerate? Some of us would like to try to make Amorphophallus hybrids.   Bonaventure Magrys Cliffwood Beach, NJ   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Bill, Please keep posting photos. I had to get rid of my  A. gigas. It was just to big for my place. It is wonderful to see yours doing so well. I wish I could help you with the timeline, but mine did'nt get that far along. If you can also please post your description of the smell. I know that sounds weird, but I was always fascinated by how the different species can smell so different.
