Amorphophallus yunnanensis Lai Chau Form Perennial Plant of the Year golden star-shaped flowers(aka: A. y. A1VT 056B) These plants are grown from seed we collected in 2005 in the Lai Chau region of North Vietnam. The resulting seedlings have the heaviest speckling we have ever seen on A. yunnanensis, although it does vary from plant to plant. These fast growers make a 5' tall trunk (taller than the Chinese forms that we had previously grown) of olive brown highlighted with light tan spots. The trunk is topped with a typical palm like leaf. When
