69159	Anthurium schlechtendalii Pheasant's Tail, Birdsnest Anthurium		$12.95	Anthurium schlechtendalii is our best guess. Although, it could be a form of Anthurium hookerii. This is a large dramatic bird's nest anthurium. In the wild it's an epiphyte. Its vase shape is composed of bright green leaves more than six feet long and two feet wide. The inconspicuous inflorescence, which has a ripe banana-like fragrance, produces showy red fruit. Use as a tropical landscape accent in a wind protected garden or as a tubbed specimen. Protect from snails. Has survived in Southern California in USDA zone 9 with minimal frost protection. Native Mexico south to Nicaragua. Araceae
90154	Rhaphidophora cryptantha Shingle Plant		$17.95	This is a truly unique and beautiful variegated climbing plant. The rounded dark green leaves show off with strong white venation. It grows up trees or other support with overlapping leaves, thus the name shingle plant. Grow it in bright or deep shade with high humidity. Moisture is important. Spray every couple of days with water, especially while young. Leaves can stay tiny for awhile. But with age, it becomes more robust with adult leaves up to 4 inches. Native to Papua New Guinea. USDA Zones 11 - 12. Rarely offered. Araceae
80153	Rhaphidophora korthalsii (Syn.: Rhaphidophora celatocaulis, Pothos celatocaulis), Shingle Plant		$10.95	Rare tropical climber with juvenile blue-green leaves held tightly together, overlapping like shingles. For many years, Rhaphidophora celatocaulis and Rhaphidophora korthalsii were thought to be two separate species, until the adult form with long-stalked, deeply cut adult leaves emerged. The juvenile leaves grow about 5 inches wide. Give large vertical space in shady area, where it can cling to the surface. Native to Borneo. USDA zones 10 - 12. Araceae
69163	Xanthosoma sagittifolium 'Albomarginatum Monstrosum' (Syn.: Xanthosoma atrovirens 'Variegatum Monstrosum'), Mickey Mouse Plant, Mouse Cup, Pocket Plant		$12.95	Bluish-green arrowhead-shaped leaves with wide, irregular areas splashed with gray-green, cream and white. Very unique as the tips of the leaves are fused into a cup sporting a long tail. The flowers sport a yellow white spadix during the summer. It's easy to grow in a bright shady position with rich moist soil. Average size from 2 to 3 feet. However, outdoors in a tropical environment, it can grow 4 to 5 feet high. Remains evergreen unless chilled. It's best to overwinter indoors in colder climates. Grow outdoors in USDA zones 9 - 11. Native of the tropical Americas. Araceae
80010	Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Green Goddess' Green Goddess Calla Lily		$9.95	Green and white spathe with large green leaves. Araceae
80012	Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Hercules' - Solid Green Leaf Hercules Calla Lily		$12.95	A rare giant of the callas to 5 feet high with huge white flowers. We purchased this plant from Western Hills Nursery in Northern California 25 years ago. This form does not have spotted leaves. Western Hills also seems to have offered another form of 'Hercules' with spots on the leaves, which is the clone that the San Francisco Botanical Garden grows as 'Hercules'. We are now selling both of these clones. Note: As these are young plants in 4 inch pots, it will probably take a couple of seasons to reach flowering size. It seems that climate has a lot to do with the eventual size of calla lilies. Those grown in the San Francisco Bay area usually grow much larger than the same variety grown in Southern California.
