I think those might be shadows on Ginas plant. Shrug!

Your new P. Summer Glory looks like it does like that spot. Did you find that one at the bug place?

LOL yes those are shadows. Your Summer G looks fabulous! I took all my alocasias out of the GH finally. The ones that went dormant are popping back out. This one is cool...Alocasia plumbea reverse variegated. The variegation is only on the undersides of the leaves. It's quite rare. Most people have never seen it because it's just not popular....if the variegation was on the top of the leaf blade, it would be LOL but it's hidden. Its very rare for it to break through.

Also - found this super silvery anthurium recently! Any ideas on what it could be? No tags or anything on it, I paid $10

Wow love that Alocasia plumbea, so cool seeing brand new leaves unfold, one of my favorite things about Spring.
AlocasiaKing very nice find and a good deal. I do like that particular Anthurium bloom with the pink speckles, haven't seen it around here.

I have never had a fasciated spadix like this one on an Anthurium besseae x magnificum. I've had weird ones before, but this one is a clean fork

Did you ever wake up with a severe bad hair day from a too tight perm?
