I like to find out were my plants come from and if they are hybrids I like to give credit to the person who worked hard in breeding these new wonderful plant. Keith Henderson is a person many of you probably never heard of but you most likely grow some of his hybrids. I am not sure if he is still alive or not he lived in Australia and breed many if not all of the Verricosum philodendron hybrids we love. He also breed many other odd ball philodendrons manly the forms with velvety leaves. This Hendersons delight is one he breed that later made its way to Thailand were they changed the name a few times. I hate when that happens as it has happened a few times to me. I try my best to keep the name the breeder gives it. At times it may not sound like a great name for selling the plant but it may mean more to that person. I know I get excited when I see one of my hybrids listed and fairly upset when I see it mislabled. LOL Here is a pic of Hendersons Delight anyone ever compare it to the ones you have shown above? |
