Voodoo Lily Bulbs (Amorphophallus Konjac)?

[Lee M-S]

Does anyone have a source for Voodoo Lily Bulbs (Amorphophallus Konjac)?

I'd love to try growing these.

edit: I can get them on eBay or other online source, am looking for local--or free, even []

thanks,
Lee

Wow. That is definitely a weird looking plant. I'd never heard of it before. I don't think this is something that is regularly grown around here. Online is probably your best bet. I just purchased a really rare and exotic tree from toptropicals.com because I found out there is only 3 known trees of its kind Hawaii. I will soon have the fourth!

If you do find it though, please post about it! []

They're a smaller relative of the corpse flower. There's one of those at the zoo, grown by a guy in Hilo--he's very popular when he's got seeds. So I'm hoping someone has this one--I understand it smells nearly as bad as the corpse flower...
