These are from the Home Depot pack trials they had on campus last week. All will be available this Spring through Summer. I really liked the Twisted Sister Philo.

A P. tortum that size (Twisted Sister) for $19 is a steal

The spadix looks like the snail in a book my kids had when they were toddlers. Hilarious!
Great color and texture on the bloom.

Very excited about the latest addition to my plant tent. I recently found a Monstera 'Burle Marx's Flame' and couldn't resist! It's in a semi-hydroponic setup with a huge healthy mass of roots. Now I just have to wait for the fenestrations to come in!

The Aroid Cultivar Registry of the International Aroid Society, which is the registering body for aroids, details that this plant was originally found in the collection of Roberto Burle Marx and registered in 1981. It is unknown where it was collected (Burle Marx was bad about that). Some sources say (without proof) that it is a hybrid if Monstera dilacerata x insulare. It most closely resembles Monstera deliciosa var sierrana, which has since been 'demoted' as a var and reclassified as a simple synonym for M. deliciosa. These were wildly expensive when they first hit the US market. Now that they are in tissue culture they are slowly getting more reasonable in price. I'm sure they will show up for $19.95 via Costa Farms at the box stores in due time.

Gigi, it's not wendlingerii. You can easily tell wendlingerii and pseudospectabile apart by the inflorescence. The inflorescence on the plant in sedumzz's photos is erect. The inflo on Anthurium wendlingerii is pendant and curls like a ringlet. The inflo on pseudospec is also thick and short. The inflo on Wendi is very long, thin and curling Your phone is mistaken.
