Flowers you just love to "HATE!"

As you will know Pete so do all amorphophallus. Pwaah is I think the expression. Very kind of you. I will PM my address. You don't happen to have a Titan amorpho do you? I don't mind waiting 50 years for the beautiful smell of rotting flesh.

 

It doesn't count imp. And we found something we agree on. Plastic plants........ Blechhh.

 

No I dont have a Titan Arum John, saw this at kew a couple of years ago.



They must have known I was coming, as they put this cage around it, so no seeds were able to fall into my pocket.
:D :D


:D :D

 

We are supposed to be on plants you HATE. But I just LOVE it. I still wont risk �£5+ for one seed though.

 

Does anybody like Johns namesake, sarracenia. :D

 

Well don't all rush at once. Obviously I like it and I figure that millions of insects can't be wrong. :D

 

I really hate Geraniums
I think they smell nice, but can't stand dead heading them. They are a pain!!
I won't be planting them anymore.

 

Sarracenias are gorgeous! (Sarracenia's what? you may ask )
And Dracunculus. Love all those sinister looking plants - Tacca chantrieri (Batplant) anyone?
I have a couple of Stapelias - they haven't flowered for a couple of years, though I remember the stench! I did get a seed pod on one and have saved the seeds - any advice on what to do with these? Are they still viable?

 

Shiney. When I first got a dracunculus Boss lady insisted it go under the front window where she could see it. Strange thing is, the second one she suggested as far from the house as possible. And I won't be putting one in the picnic area either. :D

 

No Shiney. Not far enough. I will send you an address in N Yorks to send it to. You will never smell it from here..... sorry I mean there.

 

I bet they attract flies as well with the pong :eek: thousands and thousands of flies :D
