Where did your friend get the camera he recorded this with? I'd like to get one myself.

sorry i don't know more.

How old is your plant? It took 4 years for my sauronatum venosum to bloom from a baby corm.

@smurfboywv

i don't know. it was a gift and was actually blooming sized when i got it.

sorry, wrong account...

i don't know how long until your plant blooms. mine was about four feet tall. i didn't weight the corm before it was planted, though. sorry.

My konjac has a 3 foot tall spike on it, should be opening soon.

I have 2 4 year old plants, the tubers are bigger than a pear, how large do they need to be to flower? Each year the leaves get a foot taller, this spring they got 4 feet high if not more.
