Hi Marc, Thank you for your help. I was hoping to find yellow and white in the same species. I suppose they have these in hybrids, but I am mostly interested in comparing the differences between two of the same species or at least the same genetic background. I am interested to know how to find the Z. aethiopica with the colored spadix. Do you know anyone in the US that sells them? Thank you very much. BTW I also lived in New Jersey for 7 years in Highland Park, near New Brunswick.
