Recently, on Instagram, I was asked by another collector, how to tell the difference between Anthurium Pallidiflorum and Anthurium Vittarifolium. A good question and one that is often not very clear, especially here in Australia, where sellers are labeling the cheaper Vittarifolium as the more expensive Pallidiflorum.

Ok, I am doing my happy dance! 💃💃💃 I finally got myself a Green Velvet Alocasia. Aka, Alocasia micholitziana 👏🦄🎉 Actually at one point I nearly had two. One in an EBay auction and then this one popped up for just $20 plus shipping. I figured I could always sell one on. But luckily at […]
