#aroid — Public Fediverse posts

Here's the Dracunculus vulgaris in bloom. Like I said in the OP, the pollinators are flies, so it attracts flies by smelling like the nastiest roadkill you can imagine.
They have naturalized at my place.

I went to the grocery store to get some boring stuff and came home with this beauty. I think it's a Monstera Thai Constellation. I didn't really need more plants but couldn't resist. This used to cost a lot more than $20 in my neck of woods.

If Servalan from #BlakesSeven were a plant (Arisaema candidissimum)

A fascinating look at aroids (Araceae), plants that produce heat. How much heat? The Brazilian plant Philodendron bipinnatifidum actually burns fat to produce temperatures up to 115 °F (46 °C) for two nights and "consumes oxygen at a rate comparable to that of a flying hummingbird".

All but one of my #aroid #corms are emerging from their winter rest. Dracunculus vulgaris was the first out of the gate but Taccarum weddellianum (pictured), Typhonium venosum (typical form and 'Indian Giant'), and Amorphophallus konjac are all well on their way. Arisaema candidissima is just peaking through. Arisaema consanguineum is the hold out but I suspect it will get started on spring growth soon.

Spring is on the way which means my #corms will be waking up soon! I'm gonna need to get these guys planted up before long.

I'll also be picking up #Dracunculus vulgaris from one of my plant swapping buddies today!
