Craig Allen has entered the scene. A few years back he got a tuber from Alan Galloway which originally came from Steve Jackson, one of the fantastic specimens resulting from the A. gigas x A. decus-silvae cross performed by Steve. And then it flowered, displaying an impressive combination of both parents. Curious Craig then collected the pollen and applied it to his Amorphophallus tinekeae, a very rare species with a toxic green spathe (lovely!). The progeny display every trait imaginable and beyond! We are all waiting for inflorescences now…

A. tinekeae, the loving mother...

A. gigas x A. decus-silvae, the proud father ...

First impressions of the progeny ...

What's new?

After a long hibernation time I intend to make some updates now and in the new future.

 

First step:

 

The first pulchellus x myosuroides seedling has flowered!

 

A few selected plants will be released as cultivars.
