Hi.

I could tell you a neighbor left this on my doorstep but that would be lying.

I saw this NOID aroid-ish plant growing over an 8-foot fence in a quiet lane. I pulled out my pocket knife and stole it. So there, I admitted it. If you repeat it, I'll deny it. No good can come from that.

There were at least 50 times what I stole climbing over that fence. I do not think it will be missed, specially since that house has been vacant for over 1 year. You gotta love that kind of plant and you gotta love South Florida: it got absolutely no care at all except the rain that falls from the sky and it is busy taking over an 8-foot high fence. Its weight may very well collapse that rickety fence one day soon.

Anyhow, I have pictures for you aroid experts, if you would like to give it a shot. Let's start with the whole cutting. I sat it on my barbecue to take the picture and give you an idea of scale. The cutting's stem has been sitting in my pond's water for 5 days now, awaiting identification and eventual planting.

So, here we go.

Sylvain.
