Amorphophallus atroviridis

Hari ini aku dapat lagi satu spesis yang aku kira unik dan eksotik untuk TBV. Amorphophallus atroviridis berasal daripada Thailand. Aku share dengan korang 2 varieties Amorphophallus atroviridis.. Asalnya pergi nak mencari orkid...akhirnya end up dengan pokok ni dan 5 jenis hoya..





Sedikit info tentang tumbuhan unik ini daripada Wikipedia

Amorphophallus (from Ancient Greek amorphos, "without form, misshapen" + phallos, "penis", referring to the shape of the prominent spadix) is a large genus of some 170 tropical and subtropical tuberous herbaceous plants from the Arum family (Araceae). A few species are edible as "famine foods" after careful preparation to remove irritating chemicals[1].
