Couple of newbies... names unknown.

Some sort of variegated costus... a softer variegation than the other costus specious variegata but otherwise very similar.






Picked this up at the markets on the weekend, only paid $1 for it. I fairly certain it is an aglaonema, has all the characteristics, but the leaves have a different feel to others I've worked with - much thicker and with a rubbery feel, actually feels rather strange. I will pot it up and give it a feed and see what happens.

Gail the last one has an Aglaonema look about it
I.m very fasinated with the red stems on the spiral ginger LOVELY.

Hmmm looks aglonema like from the stem but the leaves dont look like ag's at all....strange one Gail

The red stems are a nice contrast on the costus.

That aglaonema-like plant has gotten me too... there is even a very slight mottling on the leaves similar to the common ags but the leaves would be twice as thick. I haven't had much chance to look it up anywhere yet.

The leaves look similar to a philo, but I can see that mottled your talking about, maybe we will have to wait and see but my guess is still with aglonema at the moment...
