I thought I would share a very rare plant with the group. This is a South American aroid which looks a lot like the old world Amorphophallus aroids. This form has a tuber which can produce multiple stems each topped with one large amorphophallus like leaf. The main thing with this form is it has silver to white streaks on the leaves. The flowers are not near the size of many of the amorphophallus usually on Dracontiums they are about 5 to 6 inches though their are a few really large forms.
The stems are what get me they look reptilian almost like a exotic snake skin. Anyone else growing them? Has anyone else seen them around??
