Wife and myself visited my sister in another small town the next county over. We stopped at the only grocery store there to get milk. While DW inside I noticed a Landrymat next door; therein residing were some gigantic houseplants. Sign said open till 8pm so I took the camera inside to photograph these behemoths.

First 2 are Monstera deliciosa. 3rd & 4th pics are Euphorbia trigona, Candelabra Tree (I think). 3rd also has Ficus benjamina. The rest you have correctly identified yourself! Thumbs up

(Edited to list the correct Euphorbia species. I agree with Lin. Smiling )

There is a lot of open window space there, open to east and south.
Town is small, only home to maybe 1500 and when you add it's twin city of Bulpitt you get a total population of 1722!

I. too was much impressed.

All laundromats should take lessons from the owners of the one in that little village! I haven't visited a laundromat since the late 60's when my husband was in the military and we lived in an apartment without a washer/dryer. The laundromat we went to was old, cold and dirty. I didn't much like laundry day but if the place had lots of great looking plants like those in your photos, it sure would have made visiting the laundromat more enjoyable! Green Grin!

I am quite sure that the plant identified as Monstera is a Philodendron selloum.

Looks quite similar; how would one tell the difference?

According to our database and The Catologue of Life, Philodendron selloum is a synonym for Tree Philodendron (Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum)

From the CoL page:
Philodendron selloum K.Koch - Species synonym for Philodendron bipinnatifidum Schott ex Endl.

Philodendron selloum var. lundii (Warm.) Engl.- Infraspecific taxon - synonym for Philodendron lundii Warm.

The first plant is definitely not Philo. selloum (aka Philo. bipinnatifidum), and is Monstera deliciosa. While they can superficially resemble each other, they are pretty easy to tell apart. Among other differences, Philo. selloum has deeply lobed leaves where the lobes tend to end either rounded or somewhat pointed, while the lobes of Monstera deliciosa leaves tend to be more squared off as if the outer edge of each lobe is in line with the lobes before and after it as if overall it is one continuous leaf edge (hope that makes sense). Plus, Philo. selloum does not develop the interior leaf perforations that are evident on more mature Monstera leaves.

I've grown both for quite a long time now (M. deliciosa is one of my all time favorite plants) and they are fairly simple to distinguish from one another once you are familiar with each of them.

I have seen those Tree Philodendron (Philodendron bipinnatifidum) grow so large to eat a house. The trunk looks like a giant snake and some say they rap around a house. I know it's false and due to growing conditions when there is a light source and not able to more about after it's grown but don't argue with the locals. Myself I love the cult Philodendron 'Golden Xanadu'. Same blood line but stays much smaller.

Exactly what I'm talking about. Does look like it could move like a snake!
