My Typhonodorum lindleyanum has its first flower for the season and its quite large. From the base to the tip of the spathe is 63 cms (about 25 inches).
Typhonodorum lindleyanum
I still haven't found homes for the seedlings from the flowering earlier in April this year.
Close up.
Great shots! I'd love to see an overall shot of the complete plant, preferably with a person nearby to show scale. I also have a nice group of seedlings, each near two feet tall. I haven't tried to find a home for any of them yet, but the IAS show is near. I hope to be able to get at least one of my specimens to grow as nice as yours!
This was December last year.
This was about a week ago
These are some of the seedlings, about 30 - 40 cms tall. They sprouted start of winter and I put them where some plastic holds a bit of water and fallen leaves. Full shade. With the weather warming up they might grow more quickly now. No one seems to want them once I show them the size of the parent plant.
I grew out a ton of seeds years ago and gave many away they were hard to sell as you can imagine not many people have the proper climate or area to grow them. I however found them amazing they are much like banana trees with Alocasia leaves on top. They are extremely sensitive to cold and cold water and can rot very easily. I have seen one flower here in the states one time at St Louis Botanical gardens. A very impressive sight to see. Possibly from the same plants that I gave them?
Anyone that is going to be at the IAS show, watch for me if you want one of these plants. I have some nice healthy ones growing now.
I've heard that before as an alternative name - Water banana.
