Effects of fertilizers on nature
Hello All,
After I saw this photo of an enormous flower ( http://www.igman.com/misc/fertilizer...our-front-lawn )I had to ask myself if this plant was for real? Or, was this plant engineered by humans, and carefully fertilized by super potent miracle grow and other potent fertilizers. If it's natural, I'd love to have it on my lawn, you'd agree that it would be great fun to rest your yees on its large petals while resting on the front porch. But if its genetically engineered and if it's size was caused by excessive fertilizing you'd have to ask yourself where is this path taking us. Is this excessive use of inorganic or artificial fertilizers, anhydrous ammonia, nitrogens, superphosphates, diammonium phosphate and other 'nature-friendly' stuff going to pollute the plant up to the point where the process will be irreversible. The humans are using artificial fertilizers more and more and the modern society is dependant on it as never before. Yet, our generation has responsibility to act and make sure laws and regulations are enacted in order to limit and/or ban use of artificial fertilizers and that we return to more natural ways of raising crop and our precious garden plants. What are you thoughts? Best, Vasko Effects of fertilizers on nature |

Effects of fertilizers on nature
After I saw this photo of an enormous flower (
http://www.igman.com/misc/fertilizer...our-front-lawn )I had to ask myself if this plant was for real? My understanding is it is real, but rare, as in exotic. I'm sure they fertilize it with something, but it is all contained. A plant may grow bigger, be bushier because of fertilizer, but rarely does it affect the flower size by much. ~ jan ---------------- See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

I suspect they're probably a troll. A google search of the original poster's email address seem to suggest they like to spam igman.com pages. None of the captions associated with the pictures on igman.com have even a shred of truth associated with them. As seen here. Like I said in rec.gardens: It's a corpse plant it's found in the jungles of Indoneasia, and in university greenhouses or research gardens. It's a rare flowering plant, blooms about once a decade, and a fragrance of rotting meat. It gets the name corpse plant because when it blooms it smells like a rotting corpse. You can read more about the plant here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_arum -S |
