I bet you're having heat there too Brian!

7 years strong is good! I notice a difference in spathe shape and spadix colour. Mine has a glossy black spadix, and seems to have a broader spathe. I wonder if this is due to regional differences of origin.

Some have a short spadix too, they must vary in their natural habitats

I thought I was going to get seeds on mine last year but they didn't fill, there was a pair of strange fly things at the bottom of the well, the next morning they had gone and another pair of strange things appeared! Makes you wonder where they come from.

I guess I need two different ones for cross pollination, I have 7 seedlings growing from a trade (thaniks Vi!) but they will be a long time before flowering. Anyone know how long they can take from seed?
