OK well I am fairly hard to satisfy when it comes to plants I want. Most the new things I want are newly collected aroids and not yet named. As well as hybrids or forms out of Thialand for other crazed collectors like myself. When your as crazy as I am you list.
I have had old list a mile and a half long Now days the list stay around 50 or so plants but I always have a top 5. Well most on my list most people do not know exist names like cytrosperma culcasia podlasia and other odd aroids, many with out names just old pictures that seem to have no info. Their is one that really sticks out on my list that I have seen many people grow and for some reason I am never able to get a hold of one. That is the true canna Druban. Durban is not tropicanna with its orange flowers. Durban has red flowers a bit slower and taller. I have gotten it from ebay with pics only to grow out tropicanna as well as trades. Does anyone have this one?? I would be very interested in it. Another plant on my list is Amorphophallus maxwellii I have had 5 chances to get this plant by friends only to have someone get them first. Always a pain but heck I need a goal i guess. Last but not least is Philodendron spiritus-sancti I can probably get this but at the moment I don't have 1000.00 dollars or more to drop for it. I am sure I can think of more but most are obscure odd aroids on the far reaches of the earth. I figure to make this interesting I will add a pic of one of the plants I am currently hot on the trail of. I have been after some plants for more than 7 to 9 years. This one I have been after 3 years and am closing in on it fast. I hope LOL
