Suran

Is suran season at the moment , I`ve ordered a bag of it and got back a 5kg of it





as searched on google the real name is Amorphophallus paeoniifolius
andthe plant should look like this.





and the flower

 

Lovely Sal

 

Try not to upset the neighbours Sal.
It looks definitely smelly.

 

When will it flower?

 

The mogs are a bit suspicious. The surans've probably got elephant wee on them.

 

Not a problem I will put them near the sarracenias , they will love it

 

they should flowering in May , the flower appear before the plant

 

Sal where did you get yours from? I'm assuming it was like an asian food store?

 

Yes my local asian shop , 1 minute walk from where i live .
they are huge and he sell just the 5 kg bag ....there are just 4 in there .....he even checked for the fresh one

 

Nice one Sal!
Got to get one of them!

 

should I get one more bag?

 

They must take quite some cooking? No wonder you planted them instead

 

really tempted to fry one up

Apparently they may make your hands itch whilst peeling and chopping them so you should oil your hands slightly to prevent this. But you're not going to chop them, are you? Oh no.

 

Right you are, Sal.
