Lasia spinosa: bloom ober 12" tall!

My lasia is blooming in the outdoor pond. This aroid is so very cool. Its aquatic, lives in a small inground pond. The bloom is twisted and over a foot tall

Very strange looking, but very lovely at the same time :)

Only one question, where can I get one?

I got my original plant in South Florida. They come from Viet Nam and Southeast Asia. At one time I think only Dewey Fisk had them, then they got a bit more 'spread around'. They are still very hard to find and usually expensive. It was a complete surprise to me that it turned out to be hardy here in my zone, everyone said it was strictly zone 10-11. But I have had it outdoors and blooming in an outdoor pond going on 3 years in zone 8B on the cusp of zone 9

I checked it out and apparently there's a lot growing in Singapore. Got some friends going there in September, might be able to get me some seed. Never know your luck.

Wow, this bloom is exotic in my eye's. Thank's for sharing Gothqueen.
