	Amorphophallus
		The true reason why Amorphophallus have a hard time reproducing is because the female flowers are the first to open and before the male florets begin to produce their pollen, the female flowers are no longer receptive.
		In rare occassions in the wild, pollentation will occur only because of the fact that Amorphophallus can set bloom any time of the year, and their is a slight chance that one may be in it’s female cycle while another has entered into its male cycle.
		Another suprise about the Amorphophallus is the fact that the Amorphophallus Rivieri ‘Konjac’ also known as the Japanese Konjaku, and the Amorphophallus Campanulatus also known as the Asian Elephant Yam both have edible roots and that is their prime purpose of being grown.
