I`m not sure why my photos are coming out small but David did mention that he made some changes. I`m using a Nikon coolpix SQ swivel. You can look out for the tubers at some local nurseries or Flora & Fauna fests. If you want, I can keep an eye open for you. I got my tuber for rm10, it was about the size of 2 tennis balls then.

I'm not sure where or when there are flora and fauna fests... Never been to one or heard of one. How many species are there? Which is like the basic beginner's one? Haha.

If you can grow CPs, this plant would not be a problem. The KL Laman 2007 is coming up in June i think, should be in Lake Gardens....mebbe you can find it there.

Yes, we seriously should. They may not have CPs there but the plants featured there would still be interesting. Fauzi was there last year.

I only have this. I`ve seen variations of the flower colour, like deeper purple. Might that be the variety you are asking ? Errr.....the species is Amorphophallus, the variety i`m not sure.

Do you guys know the roots are edible. In Chinese it's call 'mo yu' meaning 'devil yam'. The roots are processed to make something like jelly but harder which added to fry some dishes. Quite nice, very suitable for ladies because without carbo & fats, hehe.

It doesn't taste nice by itself but it normally mixed with other vege, some vegetarian restaurant do have it added to dishes.

That plant? Well, it's quite common here (both langkawi and most of the northern states)... Careful... They causes skin irriation... One of its' kampung name is pokok lekir... Usually grows in shade. Nice "stem" reticulated and leaves grow something like papaya leaves...
They actually sell it? RM10? *scratch own head

Tarence,
Here is a short course on pixel (=picture element). Photos are normally displayed on the computer at 72 dpi (dots per inch, here one dot is one pixel). Some cameras, store the photos at 72 dpi and when they are displayed straight out of the camera without editing they looked very big. While other cameras captured their image at 300 dpi (this is the density used in 4 colour printing). This means the image when display straight out of the camera is 25% small than those capture at 72 dpi. Most photo editing programmes like photoshop will allow you to resize the picture. But looking at your photos, Nikon have already resized for you.
I hope I have not confuse you.
Choong

Tarence,
Haa, haaa, haaa... I just realised after Andy mentioned that your plant is making a remark on us. Look so realistic. Somemore look like it is wearing white gloves. Should put this at the fencing to your neighbours house if you don like them... haa, haaa...
On the picture thingy, I've made it such that all pictures will be shrunk to the size of the table/box of this forum, so not my doing laa. It will only be shruck if the picture size is bigger than the box/table of the forum. When the system shrinks a picture there will be a note on top of the picture saying the picture has been reduced by 30% etc.

Choong : crystal clear, like you said, Nikon already resized it. i won`t bother about photoshop, no time to do all that. shoot, load to pic host, post to forum. that`s all i have time for.
David / Andy : yeah, what can i say, it`s a flower with an attitude. i like !
