FREE: UNUSUAL! Sauromatum venosum Voodoo Lily Offsets!

The listing, UNUSUAL! Sauromatum venosum Voodoo Lily Offsets! has ended.

If you like the wild and weird in the plant world, this plant is for you!

You are bidding on two offsets of my Voodoo Lily, Sauromatum venosum. The first two pictures are from Google because I couldn't find pics from when mine were last actively growing, but do represent what your plant will look like in leaf and in flower. The third picture is of the exact tubers you will receive. The parent tubers are already breaking dormancy and putting up their leaves, so these will need to be potted soon.

A word of caution: as with nearly all plants in the Voodoo Lily family, the blooms are uniquely beautiful and quite large (these have flowers that can exceed 2 ft tall), but when in bloom they emit the fragrance of rotting meat to attract flies to pollinate them. I have over 40 species from this amazing family of plants in my collection and the blooms of this variety are one of my favorites for their unique shape and deeply contrasting pattern.

The tubers you receive are first year offsets, so will not flower until they put on some more size. A few years of good care and liberal fertilizing should plump them up quickly. This is a vigorous plant that makes multiple offsets each year. For more information on growing these unusual and amazing plants visit The International Aroid Society page at www.aroid.com .
