Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Amorphophallus Bulbifer (Patches) is a selected petiole/stem form of Amorphophallus Bulbifer with dark botches of dark green to black colors with bronze spots. I have seen several different petiole forms over the years this one is one of the more beautiful forms I have seen. Flowers are 8 inches to 1 foot tall white to light yellow and are known for the very stinky smell that can be produced while in flower. A easy to grow must have for any Aroid or Amorphophallus collector.
