Hi all,
I believe that I have come to posses seeds of Dracunculus vulgaris. Does anyone here know how to care for this, or how to grow it from seeds? For now I put in ten seeds in a pot with sphagnum moss. But uhmm, not sure if that is the right thing to do. Besides I have like 90 more seeds to plant :shock:! and I want to grow them all :muahaha: . THanks in advance.

Lucky you, Jay! I hope you take your camera (and noseplugs) and post the pics, back here. These are amazing. Every time I see these, I imagine a society of giant people living among these, which are relative in size to them as our typical orchids are, to us.:biggrin:

Please post pics and enjoy!

Take lots of pics!!!

Hey Tindo, did you ever get any amorphophallus? I remember we had discussed that once ago....

Tindomul 11-04-2008 11:23 PM

No, never did.

I've got more ariods than orchids so this thread is just the spot for me!

Colocasia 'Black Beauty'

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lackbeauty.jpg

Didn't open much more than this because of frost but I'm hoping that (if I can winter it) I get it to flower next summer.

I also grow some Cryptocorynes emersed and submersed and am working on getting Anubias barteri 'nana' and Anubias 'coffeefolia' but haven't had any of these flower for me.

Tindomul 11-17-2008 09:38 PM

Awesome. I have not been able to flower any of my two Colocasias.
I love Crypts and Anubias. I have a few species of each for me. A. barterii has flowered rarely for me, but my A. frazerii is a continuous bloomer. Hope to see more from you. Do you bloom any of your Crypts?
