Amorphophallus paeonifollius

I'm hoping it will be big enough to bloom next year. It's grown about 12" since this picture. I'm 6'2" and can easily walk around under the petiole. The leaf is 10 - 12 ft wide now. I've now built a tripod structure to support it in the event of major storms. It got wacked pretty hard during one last year.

WOW! Sweet plant! I'm new this year to Amorphophallus and have some small Konjacs going now. Thanks for the photo!

It should flower next year . Dig a big hole and plant it out in full sun , and you will get several nice large offsets .
I nearly filled up a wheelbarrow with offsets from the several I have just going dormant .

Wow! Mine all were lost in Ike. I'm not sure if they washed away, rotted or what. 3 1/2' of water at the house for at least 24 hours.
Tally HO!
