For one thing, I saw a defintely caladium leaf in the upper right corner, and concluded that the micholitziana-like leaf (more likely to be a Green Velvet horticultural hybrid, IMHO) in the lower left may also belong to another plant. The length/width ratio of the varigated leaf does not appear quite the same as for Green Velvet and/or A. micholitziana (they are narrower/longer). +More And I was not quite patient to examine th photo, either. A.macrorrhizos would have yet different shape, and would point upward. Oh, well. But it is just as pretty as the one in the photo :-) KK
