Right, Kristine?!? but I only ever had a few mislabeled out of close to 150 rose bushes over the years, quite a few of them were body bag roses. I don't mind the surprise and body bag roses generally do very well for me, over the years I only lost a handful to rabbits. They grow very well and bloom a lot, it's just not the correct rose and I would like to know what they are if anybody has an idea.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like what you are asking is if it is one of the popular named varieties of which there are many. Here are a few that seem to be most popular right now: Thai Constellation, Borsigniana Variegated (aka "Albo Monstera"), Marmorata, Aurea. To be perfectly honest, I dont think your monstera has enough variegation at this point to tell. It's very low variegation which could indicate that it was never a named variety but a sport variegation. This would be when a regular green Monstera Deliciosa produced a stem with slight variegation and the grower chopped that vine and propagated it to try to see if it would produce more. Since the seller offered no definite identification, At this point, all you can really do is wait and see what the plant does. But I don't think you can officially call it by any of the names since you will never know unless the seller can provide evidence of the mother plant's identification. Just enjoy it for what it is. A monstera deliciosa with some variegation.

Hi Everyone Can anyone identify this algae. I have a large 1/2 acre quarry pond, 8’deep. The water is green, but there is no algae floating in or on top of the water. When put in a container the water is clear. However, anything submerged in the water, including rocks, pump hoses etc. is covered in this slime. On the rocks, below the water, they look like rubbery balls, and if dislodged, float to the top, break apart easily as well. We are aerating the pond and have been swimming in it for 2 years, no problems. There are a few frogs, 3 turtles and too many goldfish. The latter, which are would like to eliminate, as they are invasive.
