Hi, all -I see Tony has answered the question about 'Polly Spout', and I
have nothing more to add, other than that it's a gorgeous and completely
well-behaved plant, and we'll have a handful to sell when I get around to
putting them on the website.

Thanks, Mark, for your kind words about my talk in Raleigh -

Hi Paul:
Nice to hear from you, hope you are feeling well. Ellen said that "Polly
Spout" is a sterile hybrid between P. pedatisecta and P. tripartita.
Perhaps she will chime in with more info. I don't know if it availabe
where you are, but Lazy SS nursery in the US did have it recently, to the
best of my knowledge. P. pedatisecta was a nuisance in my Connecticut
garden so it has been banned from my new garden in North Carolina.

Best regards,
Mark

And what pray tell is Pinellia 'Polly Spout' like? Checking google
it seems to be a P. pedatissecta, but some pics show what looks like
a purply flower, while others describe a greeny yellow? What is
distinctive about it?

Cheers.
