Amorphophallus asterostigmatus from Summer 2004.
This is a nice illustration of the range of color in asterostigmatus petioles. The petiole on the left is quite purplish and the one on the right is rather grayish. Both have speckling of a darker shade of the petiole color. I think they're some of the most striking Amorphophallus petioles I've seen.
As you can see, the leaflets are a nice, bright green.
These plants were grown from rather small tubers and were a little over one foot tall.

The photo of the leaf was taken in my greenhouse.
I love the thin reddish edge around the leaf.

I don't have any of my own photos of A. longituberosus. Please refer to the International Aroid Society's web page, which
contains excellent photos by Wilbert Hetterscheid and David Scherberich.
Aroideana vol. 19 says, "The tuber becomes susceptible to rot in the final stages of the growing season
and watering must then be minimized."
You'll need a deep pot for these guys!

Amorphophallus sp. 2010-01
This is an unidentified species from Thailand.
Judging by the size of the tuber, it looks like the plants may reach as much at 2' high. I don't know what the leaf looks like.
As you can see, the tubers are squat and a bit funny shaped, somehwat reminiscent of Am. atroviridis. They look like they will do well either in or out of soil during dormancy.
