How's this for a flower? / myLot

This is just an excuse really to post another photo of my philodendron flower. Chat says it’s most likely Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum or tree philodendron. It can be hard to differentiate between several of the species. I uploaded some photos but then reached my limit on Chat so I’m still not exactly sure which one it is. The other two possibilities are Philodendron pinnatifidum and Philodendron speciosum. It’s not that important but I like to be accurate/correct when I say something is something – if you get my drift. Anyway, what do you think o f the flower? Pretty spekky, eh? Spekky = spectacular

Weird... doesn't look anything like any philos I've ever met. I'm used to pothos and split-leafs, and certainly none that stuck their tongue out at me.

I used my AI tool and it agrees with you that it’s a Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum.

Apparently that white thing is a spadix emerging from a pale green spathe! Who knew?

Spekky - not to be confused with “Specky” which relates to people who wear spectacles

I think that yours it's a tree philodendron. It takes years before those plants produce a flower, so your plant is surely pretty old. It's surely a spectacular flower.
