Amazon Waterlily Pavilion Despite the main feature of this building being the Victoria Amazonica Waterlily, this is a treat for Aroid lovers. Built in 2007, this energy efficient greenhouse/building is the perfect environment for growing aroids. Its hot and humid to the point that I had to strip off my winter layers to stay in […]
Well, if this isnt the ultimate greenhouse, I dont know what is. The Bicentennial Conservatory This massive structure houses an assortment of rare and endangered plants from lowland rainforest’s of Northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the nearby Pacific Islands It is spectacular to walk through and enjoy the plants from this part of […]
One of my favorite places in Adelaide has and always will be the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. Its like stepping out of the craziness of the city and into another world of quietness and well… plants. Situated in the North East corner of the city, it’s a five minute walk from the bustle of Rundle Mall […]
I see this question asked all the time and I actually found myself asking it last week when I picked up this plant in an online auction. It was listed as a Philodendron Gloriosum and I suspected it was actually a P. Glorious and was sure of this upon arrival. So what is it really??? […]
I purchased a P. Verrucosum cutting at 4am on a sleepless night. It was an impulse buy that I decided to take a chance on. The Jury is still out on if it will strike. But there are signs of hope. I think it was a rooted cutting that lost it’s young roots and was […]

A beautiful birds nest Anthurium. I picked this plant up on EBay without knowing anything about it. It’s simple and quietly textural at a small size, however, this plant will get big, really big. Origin: South America. Southern Columbia to Brazil and Southern Bolivia. Found at low elevations (100 – 160m) on white sands and […]
AKA Paddle Leaf Philodendron There is limited record of this plant both from Brazil and globally. It was first published in 1957 and is not a common plant within most aroid collections around the world. While not the prettiest of Aroids, it’s unique shape and terrestrial growing style makes it a fun plant to grow. […]
Another EBay auction and another plant added to my collection. I have been showing interest in the not so common heart shaped Philos lately and threw a low bid on a Microstictum cutting. As you can see I got it. So far it’s not much. The root system is good, but a bud is yet […]
