I grew these plants from seeds out of Brazil. Many of them were suppose to be speciosum and other very unusual species. I think that most were forms of bipinnatifidum (selloum). Most looked similar to the common selloum but most also looked very different. I am not sure if these are hybrids or just odd forms of selloum but their seems to be some pretty unsual forms out of all the ones I have grown.
Here is a group pic. Some have very thin leaf segments that go deep into the center of the leaves others bairly are segmented. Also some have many segents in each leaf while others have very few. I am not so sure if Selloums differ this much or not.
Here is one that does not really split but forms a more narrow leaf.
Few but large segments in the leaves. -
Narrow leaf lots of segements even on the back lobes. Some leaves of these philos hold themselfs up right while others downward.
slightly segmented leaf
Those are really neet.
Shopping at the seed store in Brazil again, eh? Very interesting Brian. How long have you been growing them out? I like the deeply segmented ones best, okay, I like them all. Are those in the house with the wall? I have a couple split leaved I keep at work.... regular commercial kind. I need to pick a date to come back down there and see. Want the weather to be cooler so I can spend the whole day... Like I need a whole day to choose a car load of plants...lol I could hold the water hose while I wander about. That 3rd pic reminds me of an oak leaf, I like that one too, hmmm...... Need to get off the puter and get busy. Thanks for posting the pics, very cool!
As much as I know about flowers, the name Aroids is new to me. I love all your plants.
I like the 4th and 5th ones best. Cool looking!
