Which philodendron

Columbia, SC(Zone 8a)

I found these 2 recently, only identified as Philodendron. Any ideas on which ones they are? This one I call 'Philo Kroger'

Love you designations! P. WalMart might be Orange Prince but I am not positive.

very bright orange new growth, slowly fades to olive green as the leaf matures

Most of these forms are hybrids of Philodendron wendlandii and Imbe. Many of them were commonly called wend-imbe hybrids and in some cases wendimbe. Some were later give horticulture names like orange prince Kelidoscpoe and moon glow. I am sure their are a ton of new forms with new name that looks very similar. One trick the larger sellers are known to do is change the name to a plant to get more sells out of it. So what use to be one hort name now maybe going under a new name. Very confusing at times but some of these hybrids are very interesting and colorful. Some of the older ones are very hard to fine like Pluto and Goldiana

Thanks Brian, you always have the info. I have Moon Glow (I thought it was Moonlight) and it has performed well for me. I've had this one for about 1 1/2 years.
