Re: new photos of interesting aroid on ID page

It's good news that it spreads wildly but bad news for us in the north who would hope to have it spend a winter in a paper bag. Oh well, this will probably be one stoloniferous plant I'd be willing to give some space indoors. So the next question is... how long before we civilians can get one?
