Farewell To An Old Friend...

My  Amorphophallus after I brought them home on 7-1-17, #353-1. Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. It has took me a week to write this post because I kept taking more photos… Tragedy has struck… The above photo is of the two Amorphophallus I brought home from Wagler’s Greenhouse on July 7 in 2017. I picked this pot because not only were there two, but there was also an Oxalis…
