I will defend the presence of that particular Zantedeschia as an
Ecuadorian aroid. The parent species, yes, is absolutely from Africa.
However, the green-blooming version shown in the picture is a cultivar
developed in the town of Cayambe (just north of Quito), specifically for
the export flowers trade.
I must apologise to all of you - I browse the web using Safari, on a Mac
computer, and it blocks all of the popups for me automatically. I wasn't
aware of the popup problem. I shall, de pronto, transfer that gallery
over to Flikr which I understand is less problematic.
Anybody who is seeing more than rudimentary labeling (on my own review,
only about 5 photos are labeled as to species or genus, and most of
these are best guesses) is not looking at the correct galleries. I am a
complete neophyte to the world of aroids, and wouldn't know a split-leaf
Philodendron from a Monstera.
