With all the rain we've been having this year, my Variegated Fuki is showing splendid colors. I wanted to share this non-aroid EE pic with the people who most might appreciate it. Hope you all don't object. If you do, I'll ask Dave's to remove it.

Variegated Fuki leaves get to about 2' in diameter. The plant grows to about 2' tall for me. It is Zone 5 hardy. It needs a fair amount of water (I consider it to be a marginal) but does not tolerate submersion other than for a brief time. It is highly invasive here, seemingly the only thing that slows it down is drying out. Every little piece of root will start another plant. It spreads by short runners, thus not spreading very fast, but being hard to remove.
