[Aroid-l] ID please?

From: sfhatheway at yahoo.com (Sheldon Hatheway) on 2008.07.15 at 01:57:24(18154) Hi, all!! I was meandering through the floral section of our local supermarket the other day and happened upon the attached plant. Never having seen this one in real life before I thought I would ask the clerk what it was. Clerk (reading generic label): That's easy. It's a 6" tropical foliage. Me (trying to look patient): I already know that. I wanted to know what KIND of 6" tropical foliage. Clerk (looking uneasy): Uh . . . I don't know . . . uh . . . GREEN? Me (heaving great sigh): Thank you ever so much for your help. I'll take it. Now someone please tell me what this 6" tropical foliage plant is. I know it's an aroid because of the flowers which you can barely see and which are completely closed. Is it a Homalomena or something like that? Thanks much for your help. Sheldon Hatheway +More Canby OR zone 7B PS: Ignore the water spots on the leaves. I'll clean those up after I chop (oops, I mean carefully dissect) it into its component pieces to make a bunch more of whatever it is. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
