Gordon is Gold

The foliage of Amorphophallus konjac ‘Gordon’s Gold’ is truly superb in the gardens, looking like a forest of small golden palm trees. This is a great discovery from California plantsman, Dave Gordon.

This year, one of our plants had a leaf chimera mutation so that half of the leaf mutated to green, while the other half remained yellow. Most likely, this is a one year occurence.

  1. Love all the beautiful and unusual plants. Wish hardiness would be included. Hate falling in love with a plant and finding out I’m three zones too cold.

    1. Unfortunately, we don’t know if Dave is still around or not. Perhaps some of our other readers will let us know.

    2. Hey Stuart & Patricia. Dave Gordon here. I just saw your post. How great to hear from you after all these years. My wife Lorian and I live in Mission Viejo CA and have a non-profit called Comfort Purses. We buy purses for women, backpacks for men, fill them with comfort items and give them to seven hospitals where they are given to women and men fighting cancer. Check it out… http://www.comfortpurses.org We are so blessed to be able to provide hope and encouragement to those who are fighting the hardest battle of their lives. Anyway, my email is Mutantpalm at msn.com. Let’s reunite when you can. 562-714-0416.
