Amongst all the CP's there are a handful of plants that are unusual enough to catch my eye. They include:
No clue what species this is, but the flowers are powerful enough to fill the living room with floral scent in the mornings. This guy came to me as a cutting, and the person I got it from has had it in the family since 1915, so it's at least a century old.

Also, got these guys as tubers labeled Amorphophallus konjac, which clearly they were not. Despite what I've heard about this species however, it's interesting enough to me to keep around, especially what with its common name of "Green Dragon"

Since then I have acquired not only the A. konjac I was after, but several other aroid species, a number of which are already waking up. They may end up shown in this thread, along with my other novelties such as Aristolochia, various Passiflora, etc.
