I have several Pink Princess Plants that have come from a few different sources, and some that came from one place are VERY dark and the leaves are definitely larger than the others. The stems and most leaves are almost black they're so dark. The stems have rich, deep pink striations and the leaves have some pink flecks in them.

Glasshouse Works had a clone tagged 'Spargatus', a name which does not come up on the web but 'Spartacus' does on one old ebay auction and on the aroid name list. It looks like a darker, larger Pink Princess. A picture is being posted by Albert Huntington at http://www.aroid.org/gallery/egger/Philodendron_Sparagus.jpg Does anyone know this plant? This name? Is the name correct? Thanks for any help.Gary Gossett Canby, OR US
