So today was the Great Syngonium podophyllum clean out in the greenhouse. This plant had crept everywhere and was just causing a big overpopulated mess, so I went around and pulled it out from everywhere it had installed itself....in the stream, up the walls, climbing on other plants, creeping across the ground...in the end I pulled out three 35 gallon trash cans of this plant.

And I found some interesting things that it was covering up. Not the least of which is the fact that, after 12-13 years, my Areca vestiara 'Yellow Crownshaft' palm has finally started to develop STILT ROOTS!!!!!!!

I know, if you aren't into rare unusual palms this is not of interest to you. But Its a great revelation for me. And it has a baby too! I have an official clump!
