Just wanted to share some photos
Sept 23:
Its about 3 inches right now:


still waiting on the flower

[justjack]

For the first few years it may only produce the leaf depending on it's age.
Do you know if it has flowered before?

[sirkristoff]

yeah mine is just starting to grow as well Kevin...its strange. they should be going dormant by now if im not mistaken

[theplantconnoisseur]

yeah, hhmmm.... im not sure because i went to this plant show and they gave it out free so i took one. but i have a really strong feeling that it will flower.

[sirkristoff]

how big is it?
it looks like it is only going to be the leaf, IMO....maybe a year or so out on the flower depending on the age and size of the tuber

[theplantconnoisseur]

well the big round thing is only 3-4 inches in diameter.

[justjack]

Keep in mind our winter is summertime on the southern half of the globe.

[theplantconnoisseur]

right, right... now i have a feeling that it wont flower

[justjack]

Keep growing it with love. It'll produce something that smells like death for you eventually.

[theplantconnoisseur]

They say that everything above the soil line in your pictures is technically one leaf.
