My Very Own Pinellia Plants!

Pinellia tripartita
as received from one of my favorite garden bloggers -
Iowa Boy! :-)

This is 'Golden Dragon'. . . and look at the size of its spadix!

It's diminutive... in fact, if you're not careful, you might just overlook it!
However, you'd be sorry... because you'd be missing such an unusual plant.
This Pinellia tripartita is 'Atropurpurea'
and I apologize for the evening lighting in these photos.

Iowa Boy warns that 'Atropurpurea' propagates quite freely. At this point in time, that's okay with me! And I have a number of friends that would welcome a plant, as I did. (!)

If you want information about this plant, visit these posts by Iowa Boy.


I will also keep you posted as to the progress of these plants. (Oh! I am so excited!) ;-)
