I know this is a banana forum, but I thought I'd see if any of you grew this group of Aroids. I have a number of species I am growing right now. Konjac, which is hardy to about zone 6, bulbifer, aff atroviridis( possibly saururus or an un-named Thai species), ongsakulii, titanum, carneus and several unknown and un-identified species. I also grow Pseudodracontium harmanii 'Hot Legs', which recent molecular evidence has shown that the Genus Pseudodracontium is firmly seated in the middle of Amorphophallus genetically, so they are soon to be lumped into Amorphophallus. They are very easy to grow as potted plants, and have "interesting" flowers. Anyone else grow these so called Voodoo Lilies?

This is a mature A ongsakulii blooming in a 4 inch pot, at Plant Delights.
