(aka: Amorphophallus henryi HAM-085) Amorphophallus henryi 'O' Henry' is a unique form of the Taiwanese love lily that we got in the 1990s from plantsman Alan Galloway, who got it from Amorphophallus researcher Wilbert Hetterscheid. It was hard for me to believe this clone was really Amorphophallus henryi due to its unusually pointed leaflets and darker foliage that emerges with a lovely pink edge. It wasn't until seeing the odd, erupting, violet-red, toilet-shaped spathe surrounding the violet Old Faithful-like geyser that we knew the identity was correct. We are pleased to have enough of this unique gem to share.
