Oh WOW Tussee, you will have to send me the names of your favorites so I can be on the look out. Funny, I thought they were uncommon but suddenly in just half a day 2 people I know collect them. Another friend's husband I just found out has tons of them too. I so hope they like me and like it here. Do you plant yours then out in your yard and they winter outside?

I agree Dmac! The baby was so small we didn't even see it the first time we looked for it. Such beautiful creatures.

Oh Betty, I did find such fun plants. I got another called Gonatopus boivinii or Giraffe's Knees. I jumped on it thinking it was an amorphophallus with an odd bulge midtrunk. But though an aroid, not an amorphophallus. I just loved the mottled stem and there is a flower about to pop up.

See the little bud and the giraffe's knee? LOL
