I would love to trade for some of the babies.. I have a white edged Swedish Ivy I could get some clippings from and also have Desert Rose Adenium seedlings that are about 5" tall with 2nd & 3rd leaf rows on them if you'd be interested in any of those. My Desert Rose are not the normal pink flower kind, but are a range from white to lemon/lime, yellow, reds, two-tones, on up to a dark red that almost looks black.

I'm sorry for your loss, I have: jew purple striped jew green green and white striped jew green jew fuzzy spider green Do you still need? Email me:) CJ (I just bought a dwarf banana 2gal at Lowes for $2.00, maybe they have some up your way)

We call "sneaking a cutting " stealing. If that's your normal behavior (your word, not mine), do you act that way at your friends' homes, a favorite restaurant, a local botanical garden, or (even worse) a garden center? Businesses like the swank office building will use the services of a florist or interiorscaping firm. Witb a little bit of sleuthing, a person could track down the name of that company and, contact them, and ask for the identity of the plant you admire. Then, you can obtain the plant the way that the rest of us do....we buy it. Can't afford all of the plants that you'd like to have? Do without until you can. THAT'S "normal "! As far as the identity of the plant goes, I'm tempted to say that it's one of the new Aglaonema cultivars. If Toni, sees this post, she is a likely candidate to be able to ID the plant....and probably tell you some good mail order options.

Bihai, the green Pothos is exactly like the variegated form, only it's color is different. In fact, varieg forms sometimes revert to an all green plant, and yours very likely is a reversion. The green form is faster and stronger growing since all of it's leaf surface can produce food. I don't see a lot of pinholes on the leaves in your photo, but there do seem to be a few along the midribs, highlighted by the sun in your underleaf shot. If present, these would at least identify it as an Epipremnum. I find it hard to keep from yawning in the presence of most tuberous Aroids, and Arisaemas downright put me to sleep. Many amorphophallus species are interesting in the colors and patterns of their petioles and leaves. I'm never over-impressed by their blooms, to me it's strictly a foliage plant. This genus has taken the Int'l Aroid Society growers by storm over the last many years. I think they're an interesting addition to an Aroid collection of other non-tuberous genera, but that's all. Vining Philos and Monsteras are the most fascinating of the Aroids in my opinion, for their uncanny search for height, and scandent immature and mature climbing leaf stages which can be explosively dramatic, especially in Monsteras.
