Hello James, Typhonium giganteum 'Indian Giant' is very distinct from the ordinary form. The tubers can attain a diameter of about 10 inches, if not more, the flower and especially the leaves are truly gigantic. A friend of mine in Germany grows them in 100l containers (one tuber per container) to get the best results. it is not reliably hardy in Germany so it is pot grown. Here in Portugal I grow it in the open garden. Last summer it got a bit neglected and did not get much water because I was so busy with everything else. I dug it up in autum and to my surprise two tubers flowered out of the paper bag in which it was stored. The smell was phantastic... Both tubers and a few offsets are now in a good place in the garden and get regular water. The leaf has not yet fully unfolded but looks gigantic already. A magnificent plant. What you say about your plant sounds much more like the ordinary form, maybe there was an error somewhere? I have never had seed on my plants because I think it is all one clone, propagated by offsets. The pink fruit mentioned, did it contain viable seed? Also, I canot comment on the depth the tubers grow, mine are planted with about 5 inches of soil above the tuber. Bye for today, Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
