[Aroid-l] blushing philodendron

From: REDRAGON40 at aol.com on 2009.09.03 at 14:23:15(19918) Awhile back I received a lot of responses about my trying to rescue a cutting that was very distressed, but despite my best efforts, it didn't make it. I would like to locate a plant to replace it. I am not a botanist, so please excuse my clumsy description. When I bought it back in the sixties, it was called a blushing philodendron. Here are some of its characteristics: standard heart shaped leaves a little smaller and narrower than those of common plants seen in garden stores a grainy microbeaded upper surface that gives the leaves a sort of matte satin appearance maroon undersurface HTML +More bronzy color of newer foliage and growing tips relatively slow growing, especially compared to my "standard" philo, which is rampant. I would really appreciate any feedback about this plant, especially whether it is available anywhere. I'm not an aroid collector, this is just one of my top favorite plants and I would love to have one again.
