You have a beautiful place there, Kathy. I hope I can one day take the tour.

I wanted to show what the amorphophallas had grown into. The foiliage is just beautiful and it gets bigger every year. It almost make the big one night stink worth it.

My yellow allamanda hedge has come back from the ground and is now about 4 feet tall and blooming.

No fragrance now but when it bloomed in the spring for one night, the stink could melt the watch off of your arm at 100 yards.

Oh I do love the Amorphophallus foliage.
I repotted mine into fresh soil after it finished blooming ( that was FUN, truly!) Mine will go into the garage over the Winter.
The large corm is starting now to push out the leaf for the season AND they are now two green babies in that pot. I love the leaves!!
These are well worth growing!
