Darryl’s Discoveries

These Specimens are Limited-Time/Limited Quantity

Welcome to my collection of unique plants from the remote corners of our nurseries. I regularly stumble upon some amazing finds – specimens you’ve probably not seen before, and won’t find anywhere else. I’m excited to share my discoveries.

Don’t take too long to decide which you want – these beauties go quickly, and they are first-come first-served. We’re constantly adding new plants, so check back each week to see what’s new.

Anthurium 'Quilted Hearts'

I’ve been asked many times when I would have some more of these ready, and they finally are. Highly textured heart-shaped leaves give this rare, unique anthurium its name, Quilted Hearts. New leaves emerge reddish-pink and gradually change to a rich dark green color. The flowers (inflorescences) contrast nicely with the dark green color and emerge from the base of the plant. But the dramatic leaves are the star attraction of the plant. They are thick, deep veined and very glossy. This is a quite rare, easy to care for houseplant which adds a touch of exotic flair to your space.
These 5 very large and full specimens are about 2ft tall x 2ft wide.

Ficus triangularis 'Variegata'

Ficus Triangularis Variegata looks like a mini Variegated Ficus lyrata. This cute little South African plant is a stunner! Although its leaves are only a max of about 2 inches long, they really stand out because of their bright white and cream variegation. The best thing about them? They’re low maintenance, easy to grow and compact. This plant will love it in any bright spot in your house, patio or garden. Although this plant has become more commonly available nowadays, it’s difficult to find them as large as this at such a good price. I’ve got 3 available which are close to 6ft tall and 3ft wide! They come in 14” pots.

Variegated Whale Fin

The Sansevieria Masoniana Variegata is one of our most requested plant and the variegated form is even more so. This beautiful form of the popular Whale Fin Sansevieria is defined by yellow stripes of varying thicknesses and intensities. The plants offered are not single rooted leaves like you usually find, but are fully rooted plants with a few leaves. We have only 5 available in 8” pots.

Past Discoveries

Faustino's Giant Anthurium

Faustino's Giant is one of the largest anthuriums which has leaves that can grow to up to 4 feet long! The plant is native to Mexico and is a tough aroid that also grows well in the ground (it’s actually a great landscape plant). Tender new leaves emerge with a stunning glossy red color but become stiffer and turn matte green as they mature.
The heart-shaped leaves are incredibly stiff, with a cardboard-like texture.
The Faustino's Giant Anthurium was named in the early 1990s in honor of Spanish botanist Faustino Miranda. It also prefers high humidity, but grows fine in normal room humidity.

Also known as Philodendron superbum, this easy to grow philodendron is hard to find and highly sought after for its exceptional aesthetics. The elongated, glossy leaves with contrasting white veins are also beautiful underneath with red veins. The stems have pinkish hues and white streaks. Although vigorous growers outdoors, they are relatively slow growing as a houseplant.

Begonia 'Maurice Amey'

This stunning cane begonia awes with iridescent silvery-burgundy leaves dotted with silver spots. The back of the leaf is just as impressive with its radiant dark red color. Like a lot of cane begonias, the clusters of pink flowers hang from the tips of the stems. It’s a fast growing, prolific begonia which branches nicely.
The name of this vibrant and vivid begonia is an apt dedication to the late Maurice Amey, a colorful former member of the American Begonia Society.

Variegated Kentia Palm

The kentia palm is a beautiful and elegant plant that can add a touch of tropics to any indoor space. It is native to Australia, where it grows up to 40 feet tall. But as a houseplant, it usually reaches 6 to 8 feet tall with long, graceful fronds that can span up to 10 feet.
Kentias are a popular choice for low-light environments and is easy to care for, needing only moderate watering and occasional fertilizing. It can tolerate low humidity and cool temperatures better than most palms and is not prone to pests or diseases. The kentia palm is still a symbol of elegance and prestige today. It is often seen in upscale homes and businesses, where it creates a luxurious atmosphere.
I have only one variegated specimen which I’ve grown out for a couple of years now from a seedling!

Anthurium pedatoradiatum 'Fingers'

Anthurium pedatoradiatum, also known as Anthurium Fingers, is a tropical plant native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It has distinctive, finger-shaped leaves that grow to over 3 feet in height. The leaves become more palmate as they mature, producing more ``fingers``. This terrestrial anthurium tolerates lower humidity than most others, making it a great houseplant. I have a limited amount of really nice, mature specimens available.

Cordyline fruticosa 'Purple Compacta'

Cordyline fruticosa 'Purple Compacta' is a tropical houseplant with dark purple, sword-shaped leaves. It's a compact version of the Hawaiian cordyline and is known for its bronzed-burgundy and deeper green foliage. The cute dense shape is perfect for spots which call for a more compact plant. This is a hardy, drought-tolerant, low-maintenance plant which doesn’t get as leggy as its bigger counterparts. It's also said to bring good luck. This is one of the harder to find cordylines.

Homalomena rubescens 'Pink Splash'

The Homalomena rubescens Pink Splash is a tropical plant with bright green leaves that are splattered with white and pink. It is a leafy herbaceous aroid with heart-shaped leaves that grow on long red petioles. The plant's inflorescence includes a burgundy-red spathe and white spadix. The pink and white variegation are extraordinarily pretty, one of the most beautiful variegations in my opinion. It’s an easy to maintain plant so long as you don’t overwater it and plant it in well drained soil.

Philodendron crassinervium

Philodendron crassinervium is a very rare tropical, evergreen plant with long, narrow leaves that point upwards. The leaves have a large mid-vein that is filled with red sap glands that the plant uses to store water during dry periods. The leaves are dark green and have a wavy margin. The plant is native to southeastern Brazil close to the Atlantic Ocean. It grows best in moist, shady conditions. Philodendron crassinervium is a slow climber that can grow quite tall. It can be grown on a moss pole or trellis, or in a hanging basket. It can be used as a statement piece in any room, adding a touch of tropical flair to your home décor.

Philodendron 'Golden Dragon'

This rare philodendron hybrid features lovely lobed leaves covered with golden splashes. The glossy foliage resemble a dragon’s head, hence the name. New leaves usually start off without lobes and variegation, but those become more pronounced as they mature. As a low maintenance, slow climber, it would benefit from a totem pole to reach its full potential. Originating from Thailand, not much is known about who created it or which are the mother plants.

Philodendron campii 'Lynette'

This rare aroid is by far one of the more attractive philodendron houseplants. Its lush green foliage is organized in a tight spiraling manner, giving it a beautiful, almost bird’s nest like appearance. It’s easy to grow, tolerates various light conditions (but not direct sun) and is mostly pest free. The leaves resemble spears with their pointy, elongated shape. The numerous ribs on the leaves give it a unique washboard texture, ensuring it’ll stand apart from all the plants around it.

Philodendron tortum

Tortum is a really rare and interesting philodendron with leaves that open up in a corkscrew fashion. This multi-stemmed philodendron has a bushy appearance and, like a lot of philodendrons, enjoy climbing; so it should have a totem pole or stake to attach to as it grows. The distinctive leaves resemble fish bones because of their long and thin appearance.
It tends to like more light and humidity than most philodendrons so close to a window or a well-lit area is preferred. This large specimen is already climbing up a totem.

Variegated Epipremnum pinnatum

Epipremnum pinnatum plants are native to Asia and certain pacific islands. Fully mature, they look
similar to monsteras with beautiful large split leaves. They’re sometimes called Dragon Tail Plants
because of the shape of leaves when mature. This is an easy houseplant which does well with bright light and moist, well drained soil. Variegated forms of this plant are pretty uncommon, especially ones this size.

Monstera pinnatipartita

This rare plant originates from the rain forests of South America and, like the regular swiss cheese monstera, strives best with good humidity and indirect light. The leaves of this tight climber change dramatically, giving the mature plant a completely different look from juveniles. Young plants have solid leaves which split and become more fenestrated as the plant develops. Whereas the monstera deliciosa has holes in the leaves, the splits on these leaves extend all the way from the edge to the midrib. Grown indoors, a juvenile plant would probably never get leaves this large.
This is one of the most interesting looking houseplants in my opinion with its pinnate shape and cool roots. Although it’s a slow growing plant, these big specimens already have the mature leaf structure.

Philodendron birkin 'Kinky Pinky'

While walking through the Rojo Congo crop at one of my growers a couple years ago I stumbled upon these amazing plants. The regular Philodendron Birkin is a mutation of Philodendron Rojo Congo which was tissue cultured and is now mass produced. Well, in this crop of Rojo Congos I found only two of these mutations. Like Birkins, they have pretty stiped foliage; but the Kinky Pinky take it to another level with stunning pink foliage, more elongated leaves and gorgeous red stems. The pink foliage sometimes unfurl with crinkled edges, hence the name Kinky Pinky. Over the years I’ve tried to find more of these with no luck, so I had to resort to propagating them myself by cuttings. Coming from just a couple small plants, this was a long and arduous process but I finally have a few ready to sell. I know a few people have found some in the past because I’ve seen pictures online, but I haven’t seen any for sale from anyone, anywhere in a very long time.

Philodendron 'Painted Lady'

Painted Lady is a striking climbing philodendron with amazing variegated foliage. The bright pink petioles and yellow-green mottled leaves looks like they were painted on, hence the name.
It does best with a totem or trellis to climb on, ideally 3ft or taller. As with a lot of climbing philodendrons, the leaves tend to get bigger the higher it climbs. I have only one large specimen which is ready to be potted up. It is sure to add a splash of color and intrigue to your space.

The striking arrow-shaped foliage is dark green with a lovely contrasting white mid-vein running down the length of the leaf. Give it something to climb on and watch it develop large 3-lobed leaves. Although once considered rare, they are more easily found now but usually not so large and full.

Although vigorous growers outdoors, they are relatively slow growing as a houseplant. They do well next to a window but tolerate lower light conditions as well. Originally from the jungles of Brazil, these are climbing philodendrons, so give them something to climb on if you want to truly maximize their beauty. We have only 4 of these extremely large specimens available right now.

Crested Bird’s Nest Fern

Botanical Name: Asplenium Antiquum 'Crissie'
This easy to grow houseplant is an interesting take on the “regular” bird’s nest fern. Crissie ferns have lobed leaf tips which resemble little fingers. It’s a tropical fern with long, shiny leaves which radiate out in an arching fashion. This is a great houseplant for low to medium light spots. This batch of ferns were originally kept to plant in our garden but plans changed and they sat there and grew.. and grew some more. Now they’re huge and will be a wonderful addition for anyone wanting to add an impactful exotic flair to their space.

Looking to add a splash of the tropics to your house or garden? This gorgeous heliconia is just the ticket. The golden inflorescence contrasts nicely against the dark green leaves, instantly bringing rainforest jungle vibes to your space. In an outdoor garden, they bloom year round! But as impressive as the Golden Torch Heliconias are, the variegated form is even more so. Streaks of white and cream really stand out on the green foliage. This is a very hardy heliconia which can get up to 7 feet tall outdoors but tend to stay between 5-6 feet indoors. I have only a few of these very hard to find plants at the moment but hope to have some more in the future.

Philodendron 'Fat Boy'

Botanical Name: Philodendron Martianum
Called ‘Fat Boy’ because of the unusually thick petioles, this rare plant is also known as Flask Philodendron. Although it’s considered a non-vining philodendron, I would call it a slow climber which will creep up a totem but stay full with foliage all the way up. It really stands out with its thick, glossy leaves, chunky stems and showy inflorescence. This Brazilian native is truly a collectors item which is very difficult to find domestically, much less at this size.

Philodendron 'Giganteum'

Well needless to say, this specimen definitely lives up to its name! This popular houseplant gets its name from the gigantic size of its shiny leaves which can get up to 5ft long and 3ft across in nature! When used as a houseplant the leaves don’t get nearly as large but still large enough to create a lush tropical vibe. They do well in bright, indirect light and are somewhat drought tolerant. This one had just the right conditions in the nursery to grow out to its full potential. You can find small starter plants online, but you’ll probably never get them to grow this size indoors. Grab this if you’re like me and want instant gratification.

Alocasia 'Sarian'

Although this striking variety of elephant ear plants is not considered too rare, it is still a sought-after alocasia because of its cool stems and leaves. The arrow-shaped leaves are dark green with whitish, highly-defined veins. The stems are beautifully spotted with dots of purple, which comes from one of the Alocasias it was hybridized from. They can grow up to 10 feet in ideal conditions but typically get to around 5 feet indoors. I’d recommend keeping it in a bright spot where the plant will have the tendency to grow a bit more compact and not as stretched out.
We have a batch of really big Alocasia Sarians which have way overgrown their medium 6” pots and need to go into Large or Extra Large pots. I figured I’ll blow some of them out at a highly discounted price and move the rest up to a larger pot, after which they’ll cost much more.

Philodendron Paraiso Verde is a very rare, fast growing plant with large, highly variegated leaves. Interestingly, this goes contrary to the English translation of its name, “Green Paradise”. It is a climbing variety with amazingly marbled, long leaves which does best on a totem or some sort of support. Like a lot of climbing philodendrons, the leaves get larger the higher it climbs. The highly lobed foliage looks good in pictures but even more striking in person. These are some very tall, mature plants which are ready to be moved onto a bigger totem.

Calathea rufibarba

I found four overgrown Calathea Rufibarbas! These are called Velvet Calatheas or Furry Feather Calatheas because of the tiny hairs that cover its waxy leaves and stems which give the plant a soft, velvety feel. Calathea rufibarba is a tall Calathea variety with red stems and deep blue-green, elongated leaves with a dark purple underside. They had been forgotten and left to fend on their own, but they strived! I rescued them knowing someone out there would love to get their hands on one of these massive babies that are about 3 feet tall!! You just can’t find them at this size to buy. I’ve only got four of these, so if you don’t want to wait for one to grow, grab one.

Philodendron gloriosum

Unlike many other philodendrons, the Gloriosum is more terrestrial and wants to crawls along the ground rather than climb. The gorgeous heart shaped leaves are velvety green with striking white veins. Flashes of pink will occasionally show on the margins, veins and new growth. Not only is it beautiful but it’s also a low maintenance plant which is easy to maintain- just place in a spot with about 70% shade and keep the soil moist, but not drenched. The Philodendron Gloriosum is arguably one of the most striking philodendrons which adds dramatic tropical flair to any space. These particular specimens are huge with many stems which could be divided into numerous plants.

With its lush, heart-shaped leaves adorned in shades of creamy white, it exudes an air of elegance and charm.

This cultivar, a variant of Philodendron erubescens, doesn't require any potions or mystical rituals to thrive. All it needs is some bright, indirect light amd occasional waterings as it’s sensitive to overwatering.

The thick paddle-shaped leaves have a light contrasting mid-rib which downs the leaf to the thick supporting petiole. Mature plants can leaves that are 2ft long. I’ve had this one sitting in the back of the nursery for a couple years with the intention of keeping her as a mother plant, and she’s grown into a monster.

Giant Swiss Cheese Vine Totem

Botanical Name: Monstera Adansonii
Like pothos vines, the leaves of adansonii’s get larger the higher they climb. These plants were rooted using cuttings from the top of mature plants, where the leaves were already huge. The Swiss Cheese Plant is instantly recognizable with its uniquely shaped leaves featuring multiple oval holes. Botanists theorize the holes allow sun and water to reach the lower leaves, and enable the plant to stand up to strong winds. They love to climb when supported by a trellis or a pole. These specimens are amazing because you normally find Adansonii’s as younger plants with small leaves. Scroll the pictures to check out the size of the leaves!!

Because these alocasias require less light than their green counterpart, they can be placed in shadier areas, but make sure they get sufficient indirect light. The inflorescence has a lovely sweet fragrance at night and early morning.

Calathea setosa 'Grey Star'

Botanical Name: Calathea setosa 'Grey Star'
You’ll get a kick out of this one! Of all the Calatheas out there, this is my favorite. Why? Because in my opinion the Setosa is probably the easiest to care for of all Prayer plants. Calatheas are notorious for being fussy and easy to kill, but the Setosa is actually easy to grow. Just give it ample light and water.
Not only are they easy to grow, but they’re gorgeous. The silver-green leaves have dark green veins and burgundy undersides. This upright variety develops long, burgundy stems and can get about 5ft tall, which are about the size of these monstrous specimens!

Ficus Altissima Tree

Botanical Name: Ficus Elastica ‘Altissima’
I have 5 of these incredible ficus altissima trees at an AMAZING price. They stands at about 5ft tall and almost 4ft wide. The Ficus Altissima, or Asian Council Tree, is an eye-catching tree with lemon-lime variegation. This beautiful tree is easy to keep as a containerized plant indoor, in the patio or in a tropical garden. The crisp variegation and pale veins of this ficus is creates a lively and bright atmosphere. These particular Altissimas are interesting because some of the leaves look more like Ficus Aurea but new leaves come out with gold variegation.

Philodendron McDowell

Botanical Name: Philodendron gloriosum x pastazanum ‘McDowell’

The beautifully textured dark green leaves with creamy white veins are the highlight of this Philodendron. This batch of McDowells have amazing pinkish-white veins on the new leaves. Also known as the Philodendron McDowellii (or McDowell), it’s thought to be a hybrid between the Philodendron Gloriosum and another unknown variety. Whereas the Gloriosum has a velvety surface, the McDowell is smooth and shiny. It has a vigorous growth habit and will get to over 3 feet high. I have 12 stunning, very large specimens available. They’re in 8” pots and stand about 3 ft tall.

Purple Variegated Bird's Nest Anthurium

Botanical Name: Anthurium Hookeri Purple Variegated

Yes, that’s right. A purple bird’s nest anthurium is rare enough, but a purple variegated? Well good luck finding another. I believe Bird’s nest anthuriums are one of the more under-rated houseplants. I love bird’s nest anthuriums. Why? They’re low maintenance, tolerant of neglect, requires little water, and high impact. Anthurium Hookeri is a magnificent tropical plant with large, lush leaves. They’re considered epiphytic, sometimes growing in trees and logs. You can use this inside, on your patio or in your garden if you live in warmer climates.
