I wanted to share a few pics and I love the idea of growing the original species plants. I wanted to compare the type of growth habits,flowers bloom sizes, etc of the speices with the AV's we have today..it's also a nice history lesson on one of my favorite plants.
The pic is of a one year old plantlet I grew out and is now blooming( not showing in the pic)...it is also suckering like crazy! I really like it's shiney leaves and the nice circular pattern it grows in with very lil effort. This one has been grown on a wick watering system.

What do you think about it???
