Nice photo, cool flower. cynthiac Watauga, TX (Zone 8a) October 05, 2003 05:37 PM Post #671463 WOW is right! That's a cool flower. Thanks for sharing the photo. Is it true that Bat Flower plants get wind burn easily? I'll have to start looking for one of these! :)I've only seen one of the white ones before. bootandall Blenheim New Zealand October 06, 2003 04:58 PM Post #672480 nice photo the flower is a floral arrangment by i't self loriluvplants October 11, 2003 09:42 AM Post #677445 where can i find one rylaff Niceville, FL (Zone 8b) October 11, 2003 09:53 AM Post #677452 They are very particular and a little difficult to grow.

Ordered some seeds from Thompson & Morgan but never planted them due to the difficulty of germination. They have to germinate at about 85 degress F. for months. Anyway, Thompson & Morgan has it, and also, a rare white form, T. nivea. Great pics. Tks Fran99 Spartanburg, SC July 10, 2004 06:15 PM Post #945944 Found my seeds of Tacca chantrieri. Have been in the freezer. Would like to give them to someone who can grow this challenging plant. breascoolmom Arlington, TX July 13, 2004 03:46 PM Post #950278 Hi. I just bought some seeds off of Ebay. Don't know anything about this plant. I live in North Central Texas. Will it grow ok here? This pic is of what it will and should look like. Any advice?
