Yes, Bill's right. I never thought of monstera because the monstera I was familiar with, when I went to high school in Florida, was quite a different variety.
5 years agoNow there's something I never even thought about collecting, Scott. And never will.
5 years agoIt’s been a great interlude. Very therapeutic. The bruises are healing, the rains are passing as I speak, and we’re ready to roll again.
5 years agoThat’s what hip waders are for, silly. Did you forget to take them along?
5 years agoOf course! I’ll take it up with the standards committee to get their approval, but it’s a great idea.
5 years agoSounds like winter riding in Portland.
5 years agoWe very much enjoyed Malaga too. Bruce just read your post from Carmona to Ecija and assures me the river was substantially higher!

5 years agoThanks, Bill. I’m not sure either, but it looks like a Monstera to me. Besides the size (some of these are almost treelike), the leaves have the characteristic perforations in the leaf blades.

I really have a hard time with tropical plants. So many that look so similar, and in an urban garden, location clues go out the window.
Oh, you should! It would look great lining a wall of your new airBnB unit out back. A compelling original feature that is bound to draw in the clients.
