. lewallei , this is a species from Africa , Burundi . I have grown a few from seeds distributed by Wilbert Hetterscheid.This is the best flowering so far , the tuber was approx 15 cms dia. and I grew it for a year planted out in full sun near my grove of paeoniifolius . I stored it dry and recently planted it out near where I have a gigas .
Also planted around the same spot is a prainii that flowerd a few weeks ago , and a haematospadix that is about to open a flower now . Have not grown this sp. in full sun yet , but I have enough spare to try now .
If you look athe pictures on the IAS site , you will see there are a few colour forms of this sp.
And another very strange thing , is if pollinated the seeds will set almost 1m high .The peduncle extends from few cm high it is in flower.

Hi Michael, Love the green colour of the spadix on this one compared to the one on ias site.
How did it go with pollination?
Any photos of the prainii?

Hi Michael, I am from South
Africa. I would like to know if you would sell me seeds of the aroids I do not have at the moment?
I have:
Titanum
Gigas
Decus-silvae
Natolii
Pereirrii
Albus
Maxweilii
Kuisianus
Kachinensis
Koratensis
fuscus
Eliotii
Asterostigmatus
Variabilis - dark giant
Atroviridis
Hewitii
Impressus
Yuloensis
Compacta or something they never gave a specific name
Aritiemma
Muelerii
Symoniuanus
Bulbifer
Konjak
Saurmatum venosum (have a lot of the baby bulbs)
Dracunculus vulgaris
Lately the prices on ebay have got out of hand and with the ZAR currency conversion they are out of my price range.
Seeds are easier to bring in, I keep them in baggies in germination mix in the top of my greenhouse so they dont get direct heat and it seems that this is working even for the very tiny bulbs i buy.
I would appreciate it, if you would consider selling me seeds from your collection.
I have learnt to make cuttings from my amorphophallus leaves so should be able to increase my collection with time.
