    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    All of you who suffer Arumphobia, try this one for an instant cure: leaves are 3/4 creamy yellow with irregular green margin. Out of an under-sized spathe protrudes a club-shaped, dark maroon spadix. We had them about 5 year ago and they sold out right away. As every year, very few and they are naturally small.
