This Pycnospatha arietina won the ribbon for "Most Unusual in Show" at the 2003
International Aroid Society's 2003 Show and Sale. The inflorescence appears with the leaves, of which there are two. The Pycnospatha inflorescence lasts for 4 to 6 weeks, which is very unusual for an aroid. It has no noticeable scent. |

Here is a close-up of the inflorescence. |

The leaves are very attractive, reaching a height of about 2 feet. The second leaf was omitted from the photo, but you can see the petiole, attractively patterned, behind the first leaf. It's easier to see in the larger version. |
