Venous SauRomatum
- Product number: 602865
- Origin: South Asia
- Latin: Sauromatum venosum, also known as S. guttatum, Arum cornutum
A special member of the arum family, this species arrived in Europe as a rarity as early as 1815. In late May, a 20-30 cm long spathe grows in a vibrant array of yellow and green-white with purple spots. The carrion flower emits an unpleasant odor that always provokes hilarity; terms like 'Eau de Charogne' or 'Eau de Caca' are commonly heard... The flowers have a mysterious trick to spread the scent effectively: they produce heat, just feel it! After flowering, the beautifully divided leaves grow on brown-speckled stems, which in turn provide nourishment to the corm, which develops in the first year, ready for the following year's bloom... In summer, the plant can be placed outdoors; in winter, keep it in a cool and relatively dry spot until flowering occurs...
