Amorphophallus rivieri measured yesterday 22 inches, it is shooting up fast.
I think it will bloom soon!

Adenium multiflorum 'Mombassa' is doing its Spring time bloom.
This is a very small plant with relatively large blossoms.

The (I think) peach clivia so far. Very rare. The good news is it's definitely not a yellow!

Hoya lacunosa is smothered in blooms. The fragrance drifts into the family room.

Black Jungle has a giant Amorphophallus the got from U of Oregon I think. It is a monster. Actually they have many different ones. I told them about yours, Ursula, when I was there on Tuesday. This is not my houseplant but...Ursula bought some of these pitcher plants when she visited a few years ago.
