Amorphophallus hybrid seedlings

[likespaphs]

a while ago i put Amorphophallus yunnanensis pollen onto an Amorphophallus bulbifer
(ripening fruit are at the end of the bulbifer thread)

i planted the seeds a while ago and, as i've heard is typical of many Amorphophallus, almost all the seeds have germinated.

they're not too big yet

they all seem to have inherited (that is, if the A. bulbifer didn't self) the picotee edge of the bulbifer parent. this fuzzy photo seems to show it off best

:clap: well done.... how long do they need to get to flowering size?

They are adorable! Where did they get that red edge on the leaves? I have both parent species and I don't remember a red edge on either of them.

I'd love to get a couple of those to put where the little house hens have their garden. then when it grows up and flowers - BAM!!

my bulbifer has the picotee edge
(i'd say all of them do but they're all from the same original bulb!)

Great seedlings. I had a bulbifer a few years ago, and don't remember what I did with the bulb!
