how dare u post about konjac sponges without including info on the boi who produces them, amorophophallus konjac
Does “amorpho phallus” mean what I think it means?
yes. “amorphophallus” is the name of the genus of this species. it means “misshapen dick”.
more species from this amazing plant group that i love with all my heart:
amorphophallus titanum (”giant misshapen dick”). its the largest unbranched flower inflorescence in the world. this is considered a small bloom.
amorphophallus gigas (recent studies have been suggesting that the ancestor of titanum might have been a natural hybrid between this one and another in the family)

you see the trend. there are about 200 species of these plants found so far. also some of them heat up and most of them smell like rotting flesh lmao
anyway just something to remember when u use ur misshapen dick sponge
@gallusrostromegalus what now
My fiance is a generous and loving man who Tries To Be Romantic but I am an fucking goblin, so when he asked me what my favorite flower was, He was thinking along the lines of roses or poppies or something else suitable for a bouquet.
I am a terrible person with a degree in Botanical illustration and a warped sense of humor, told him honestly that my favorite one was Amorphophallus titanum, but we got interrupted before I could explain that it was my fave because it’a a giant stinky dick-plant.
So my Poor Betrothed, who knows nothing about plants, spent the next few weeks leading up to our anniversary calling all around to various florists to FIND the damn thing and have it delivered and SOMEHOW none of these people explained to him that “No, we don’t have that. Nobody has that. Your intended is a weirdo and you are on a wild goose chase.”
Except for one really weird guy in St. Louis who claimed he had one but wanted $5K for it, so maybe Missouri has some kind of underground arum ring IDK, but Fiance knew better than to get involved in that.
Some come the anniversary, I get a very lovely Protea instead and apologies that he couldn’t find my favorite, he’s very sorry.
..I might have fallen out of my chair laughing in the restaurant.
