Open the photo and at the bottom of the page under ACTIONS select "» Edit this image's caption, details, etc."

Xeramtheum said:Being pretty ignorant about Amorphophallus, I'm just assuming once the top of the inflorescent starts to bend over it is no longer receptive. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Generally Amorphs are similar to the Caladium you pollinated. The female flowers exude a clear liquid to capture pollen when receptive. Later the male flowers produce pollen at which point the female flowers are generally no longer receptive (this helps to minimize self-pollination). If the female flowers haven't been fertilized the peduncle will collapse. The spadix appendage in this photo will collapse regardless.
