Müller's whopper is just a regular-sized amorphophallus... If you want next-level whoppers:
That's Amorphophallus titanum
wowzer, that's fantastic
My plant of epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides). A fairly easy plant, but I've had some bad luck with it lately. Finally, a decent specimen
Manee Siam, a very beautiful Curcuma hybrid.
I've been cleaning up the place, preparing to move to a new place 
. I re-discovered a few neglected plants, among them this Piper pepper, Piper amalago (I think...). I took a cutting from a plant in the woods. Leaves are covered with some form of salty-tasting exudate.
A snap shot of the mother plant and its habitat.

Nice!
Does Piper amalago produce edible berries like Piper nigrum does?
Also, I would have written off that exudate as caterpillar frass!

They do, but they should be harvested before reaching maturity (according to the internet, they loose pungency as they ripen). The species is used medicinally in various parts of Mexico, but I've never seen it being used where I live. I wasn't sure about the ID of the plant when I encountered it - I was attracted by the visual impact of its berry-clad spadix.

I just found this thread and binged the whole thing. I’m kicking myself for not finding it before now. I was in Mexico for work the past 5 years and would have loved to pick your brain on a few things - the galangal especially.
Fantastic collection by the way.
I’m sure that you already know and they may not be your favorite kind of palms, but if you get a box of fancy dates with the pits still inside them, you can sprout the pits 90% of the time. Some places will even send a variety of different kinds of dates for a side by side comparison. Might be a quick way to bolster that collection.

Yes, but date palms are dioecious and are not true to seed, and I'd only grow them for food to be honest. I often drop date seeds in my plant containers and pull out the seedlings, using them as mulch. There are commercial date plantations in BC and Sonora. The quality of the dates is not too bad actually.
