Field Notes

Description:

A fascinating Aroid from S. E. Asia which bears quite large, deep mahogany-purple spathes almost at ground level. These spread sideways and are pierced in the centre by a slender, erect spadix of a deep violet. For a flower of sombre shades, they are very conspicuous and attractive.
They will do well in pots, and a 12cm pot will accommodate several plants.
Grows best in moist, humus-rich conditions and is effectively hardy as it can be dried and cooled for frost-free winter storage.

Thanks for the info and link Julian, from there I think I found the correct name for this plant.
Hi, this could be Typhonium varians :D http://www.aroid.org/genera/speciespage.php?genus=typhonium&species=varians
Most likely, I'm still looking for the right one. Thanks Anna.
