there's a chance this sucker got pollinated.
either that or the inflorescence will fade within a few days....

this bottom photo shows the male and females flowers. flowers on plants in the Philodendron family have compound flowers. what often happens is first the female flowers (yellow pointed things in the bottom of the photo) are viable for a day or so. when they are no longer viable, the male flowers (just above the female flowers) give off their pollen.

These are so cool. I've always wanted one. Thanks for posting!

Very unusual!! Cool in a kinky kind of way!

Does it smell? Most of my amorphos are stilling to bloom now too. In a few weeks, my greenhouse will be full of the aroma of amorphos...

Crazy plant!

Cool! How long have you been growing it?

Great...I have A. bulbifer and A. konjac...both outdoors. They come up every year (very late, in the case of konjac) but they have never bloomed, even after many years.

THanx for sharing! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/redface.gif

i've been growing this one only about six months so it probably came to me ready to bloom.
i haven't noticed a smell from it
i have a bulbifer that's sending off an inflorescence too though!

I have had the bulbifer for many years....I used to grow it indoors, so it had a theoretically longer season...it never bloomed, even after several years. When I found out that it was winter hardy, I planted it outdoors. No change...interestingly enough, I can't say that it has a much shorter season outside, in terms of when it grows. On the other hand, konjac doesn't emerge until late June/early July....but its huge...last growth was about 2 feet high and close to 3 feet across......
