This spring marked our first flowering of a spectacular form of Helicodiceros muscivorus (pig butt arum) from the Spanish island of Majorca. This was one of the last collections from plantsman Alan Galloway before he passed. This species typically has flesh-colored flowers, but we love this new red-spathe clone that we’ve named Helicodiceros ‘Razorback’.
