Title: mysterious plant
Post by: Sibylle H on June 12, 2016, 11:52:57 AM

I'm wondering which plant is here for sale.
It's not a Peliosanthes at all.

Only plant I can think of like that is Speirantha convallarioides but that has white pollen and smaller flowers....

Ok, I only collect Aspidistra, Peliosanthes and some Rohdea (and some other green stuff).
So theoretically I needn't know it.
But I'm so curious.......

Sibylle - curiosity is a wonderful thing!  It is how we learn and grow......   :)
