That's your article? Very nice, and very informative.

Thanks Royal. I'm working on part 2 right now. Will spaths grow outdoors in Texas? Is it commonly used in landscapes?

I was going to mention this superb article myself. I knew next to nothing about these beauties until I read it. Bravo.

Yes, they do well here - but our winter temps get too low to use them as landscape plants. As potted plants they do great! Again, very nice article - great photos too!

Here ya go Dave, this is how it blooms when it gets bigger! Everywhere....it's the one on the right. The one on the left is Spa. unguiculata 'Grapette'. They say full sun, but mine do just fine in about 60%.

Do you leave yours in the pots? I was planning on planting mine

[gixrj18]

Yes, mine are still potted cuz I've got them in the greenhouse. My yard is already full...no more room!
