Alocasia Sarian.  This plant comes from my country.  I think its named for Zac Sarian a local plant authority who has weekly newspaper features on Gardening and Agriculture

Dave, I think that is Tradescantia zebrina.

Gene -- thanks for the shots -- more coming?  I have to get to Fairchild someday, what a huge place.  That lacey anthirium is wonderful.

I know it's just a slip of the keyboard, but that first photo is Alcantarea odorata, not alocasia.  You knew that...

Attention e-bay bidders- here's a pretty nice birds nest type anthurium

Again, it was great meeting you that weekend at the palm sale. It looks like you really made around through the garden.

    Thats a pretty Anthurium in your picture, but it's not Anth. superbum, which is what people were bidding against and was over $3,000 when sold on Ebay recently. Thanks for the great pics.

Kim- yes that's what I meant :P   Please take note that I am still jet lagged.

Jeff - Meeting you was great but much too brief.You know what I didn't get a picture with you in my camera--something to do for next time.

on teh anthurium--yup I know I am just trying to bait people to the other varieties of anthuriums.  Since I was gone vendors here are saying that its died down a bit.  

More pictures to come-- including Anthurium Superbum that Jeff is referring to.  People on ebay are bidding $3000 for those suckers!!!

A big leafed Philodendron.  I don't have anything there for scale but this leaf I would say is about 3 feet from top to bottom

For Gina (Metalfan)  Salacca Magnifica.  Really wicked specimen here.  I was so huge that I couldn't get an angle that would show the whole palm.  So I just took shots of the stalks and petioles.

Another one of my favorite anthuriums-- Anthurium Vietchii aka King Anthurium.  Nope this is still not the $3000 variety yet.
