Post #4815358

I recently acquired this large plant at a flea market for a good price. I was told it was a variegated ginger.

When I posted for an ID, I found it is supposed to be a Stromanthe. I am adding it to my journal and would like to know the cultivar.

I have been searching. Not just the PlantFiles http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/search.php?q=stromanthe but also various tropical plants sites and Google searches and have yet to find this one.

The leaves are a mostly solid green ~ top and bottom. There is minor variegation on some. It almost appears to be two different plants but it all comes from one base plant.

Does anyone here grow a plant like this? Can you tell me the cultivar?

In advance, thanks ~ pod
