What can you say about this? Marek ----- Original Message ----- To: abri1973@wp.pl Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 4:42 PM Subject: Possibly unidentified aroid Good day. We found this unusual plant growing in a pot at a nursery in south Florida and the nursery owner, considering it a weed, gave it to us. From its growth habit, we first considered it an aroid; however, since the blooms are opening, we're not sure at all. For size reference, the plant is pictured growing in a 1-gallon pot and there is approximately a 2-week span between the first pictures of the buds and then the buds opening. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance and I definitely appreciate whatever help you can give us. Best regards, Monica MacLeod Plant when we first received it and base of main plant and bloom spike.
