Variegated Spath

From: Durightmm at aol.com on 2002.08.28 at 19:13:52(9308) I found at our local Target an interesting spath. It's dark green leaves are moderately krinkled and colored white from spots to standard variegation designs. However, most unique is the green vaiegated spathe. Well grown in 2 gal pots and for under $7.00 it is a choice buy. Joe

The price is about the same, $7. I saw this available about a year ago from the growers in Homestead Fl. and anything weird and different, I order, regardless if it sells. I think the grower is either Costa, Mike Costa or First Foliage. They do sell fast whenever I receive them. A true rare find, isn't it? Bob K

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2002.08.28 at 23:26:11(9313) Bob Just to say that the variegated Spathiphyllum appears to be "Domino" which is an introduction by Milestone Agriculture Florida. Unlike many variegated Spath mutations, the white variegation is stable & does not brown. Both leaves & spathes can be variegated. Since I specialise only in Spathiphyllum species & cultivars I would greatly appreciate news of anything "new" not already here in the "World Collection"?
