Well I went to visit a good friend today who runs a nursery down the street from us. He is going to grow out a lot of my hybrids during the winter sense he has a ton more room than I do during the winter months. While their his wife said he should show me his odd mutant seedling they called it off of the common upright Macrorrhizas we have here. I believe it was self pollinated and this one was just a odd ball out of it.

It was a strange looking plant and the leaves acutally cup up almost like spaths off of other aroids with out the spadix.

The strangest part of this I think is that LariAnn years ago had a similar hybrid or mutation I believe called pixie? That looked exactly like this I believe it was off of a Odora. The mother plant this was off of was around 3 feet tall with small trunks. It looks like it will stay fairly small similar to cucullata.

LariAnn when I first saw it I was shocked at how it looked exactly like your old cross. Amazing.
