Amorphophallus thaiensis India sempervirens 'Candy Hearts' x EFrom high elevations in Thailand comes the little known species, Amorphophallus thaiensis. The 18" tall petiole, which ranges in color from speckled olive brown to rusty red, is topped with a single leaf. This unusual fall flowering species is complemented in September with a 10" tall stalk topped with a greenish pink spathe. If you dare to peek inside, you'll find a short but well formed little stiffie (spadix) pink at the tip and white at the base.
