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 ! and I want to grow them all . 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.

Please post pics and enjoy!

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

Colocasia 'Black Beauty'



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.

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?
