A fascinating look at aroids (Araceae), plants that produce heat. How much heat? The Brazilian plant Philodendron bipinnatifidum actually burns fat to produce temperatures up to 115 °F (46 °C) for two nights and "consumes oxygen at a rate comparable to that of a flying hummingbird".

All but one of my are emerging from their winter rest. Dracunculus vulgaris was the first out of the gate but Taccarum weddellianum (pictured), Typhonium venosum (typical form and 'Indian Giant'), and Amorphophallus konjac are all well on their way. Arisaema candidissima is just peaking through. Arisaema consanguineum is the hold out but I suspect it will get started on spring growth soon.

Spring is on the way which means my will be waking up soon! I'm gonna need to get these guys planted up before long.

Left to right: venosum "Indian Giant", consanguineum, Typhonium venosum (typical), weddellianum, konjac, & Arisaema candidissima

I'll also be picking up vulgaris from one of my plant swapping buddies today!
