Certainly don't want to interrupt your great thread and photos Dave but this may help growers to envision the varied growth of the species Epipremnum aureum, commonly called Pothos.

The leaves in this photo range from 4 inches to 2.5 feet and everyone is growing on the same plant. As it climbs the trees it morphs into leaf blades with totally different shapes than most of us ever see. Just like a child "morphs" as it grows from a baby to an adult and into old age our bodies change. Aroids do the same.

The photo to the lower left is similar in size to the blades you are showing but the elongated blades in the center are on the same plant and are substantially larger.

If you ever get the chance I'd love to see photos of the blades at the very top of your trees!
