Amorphophallus thaiensis United States Native Plants forested cliffs at 6From 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.
