Listen, you censor this group or you don't but this one must have slipped through..........right? Tell me I am right!! PLEASE!!!! but the spathe on this baby is "Bo-koo Zoo-perb"! O.k., that's a mild consolation..... > To those "in the know" - is this a fair example of D. pittieri - or is it an > atypically gorgeous specimen. If the former, may consider jostling my > Anthurium pots a tad to make room for one. As Julius has rightly written, to my mind, we are talking D. gigas here.
