A TREASURE tucked within a Philodendron Selloum, (aka: Cut Leaf or Lacy Tree Philodendron) was a spathe.
A spathe lasts 2 days and is an outer leaf that protects the white spadix, the reproductive part of the plant.
This spathe was approximately one foot high.
The second photo is the leaves of this tropical plant.

I agree! Those mature plants are true treasures, and I never tire of admiring those elegant spathes. I am always disappointed with my attempts to photograph them, but yours is excellent! Great job! Z

That is quite a plant. Very impressive. I have actually seen it – and the leaves, but didn’t know it made such a spathe. Well captured photographs.
