All my other Philos that have flowered have always come out a creamy sort of colour. So I like this one but it is a bit slow growing.

Gorgeous! Some kind of self-heading Philo. Are you looking for a cultivar name? Dead ringer for 'Black Cardinal.' Mine blooms often.

Thanks Tiffany. I remember the photos of yours, a couple of years back. I have one which I think is called Black Cardinal (it was "Black" something). It has much darker leaves than this one and a bit different shaped. So unless my "Black Something" isn't a Black Cardinal I don't know what.

I notice the place I bought mine often has these, and always flowering. And always with the name tag "Philodendron".

I'm not convinced all those P. cultivar names are really different plants. I've never investigated to see which, if any, might be patented & suspect most are just made-up by the sellers.

I entirely agree with you there. There's so much variability within Philo. species. Just take a cutting, mass produce it, and you have an exclusive.

But back to your flowers. They do make this plant a lot more "active" to have around though. It seems like once it starts blooming, it just keeps doing it, popping a bloom out of each petiole.

The one in the photo is finished now but the plant is producing the next one, probably open in the next couple of days.

Wow very cool. I always wondered what the flowers of Philodendron were like. I knew they are Arums but never expected they flowered like that!

The only other Philos of mine that flower have white or creamy/white spathes. This is the only colourful one.
