Dear Bill, Enid, Jani and Friends,

Philo. 'Brazil' was new at least to ME since I don`t grow these kinds of

climbing aroids! The other plant in question is NOT a Piper, it is deff.

an aroid, and a VERY interesting one to boot, the color (purplish-green w/

splashes of cream) and especially the texture of its leaves is outstanding,

like leather, but not a rough as P. rugosum. I THINK the guy where I saw

it said it was purchased from a commercial grower in S.W. Florida, and that

he THOUGHT that it was named "Pothos 'splash' "or somesuch, I will corner

him and re-check the name on the invoice ASAP and let you guys know.

Good Growing,

Julius

They probly bought it from us and are growing it for themselves. It is a

neat plant.

 The first sounds like Piper ornatum. Looks like a vining Philo from a

distance and has recently shown up in Tissue culture and seems to be at many

foliage growers lately.
