Philodendron Giganteum Blizzard Variegated: Striking Variegation for the Bold Collector
The Philodendron Giganteum Blizzard Variegated offers bold and stunning variegation, making it a standout in any collection. Known for its dramatic white and green patterns, this plant combines elegance with a touch of wildness. Its large leaves add a sense of grandeur, making it a must-have for collectors.
Key Features of Philodendron Giganteum Blizzard Variegated:
- Bold Variegation: The striking white and green variegated leaves make this plant an eye-catching beauty.
- Large, Glossy Leaves: As a large Philodendron, its impressive leaves grow to a substantial size, creating a sense of grandeur.
- Unique Appearance: The contrast of the variegated foliage offers a distinctive, wild aesthetic.
Before → After: What Changes When ‘Blizzard’ Arrives
- Before: Corners feel flat, neutrals look a little too quiet, and smaller plants disappear in wide rooms.
- After: A single statement leaf becomes the focal point. Philodendron giganteum ‘Blizzard’ throws broad, shield-to-paddle leaves layered with snowy splashes, cream sectors, and mint flecks over rich green. The canopy reads architectural and luminous—like light brushed onto foliage. Even one mature leaf anchors a vignette; several create a soft, gallery-scale backdrop.
Why ‘Blizzard’ Works in Real Rooms
Giganteum is built for scale: generous blades, confident petioles, and a composed, self-heading habit that stays tidy when staged in a tall, drainage-forward planter. The variegation pattern is naturally variable—from whispery freckles to bold half-moons—so every plant looks like a one-of-one. In bright, diffused daylight, the pale panels glow without glare and the green fields ground the composition, making large spaces feel finished.
Placement Map (5 Quick Wins)
- Console Anchor: Center the planter, then offset a travertine tray or linen-bound books to one side—negative space lets the leaf silhouette read clearly.
- Window Flank: East-facing glow behind sheers creates even luminance; the snow-white sectors “light up” at sunrise.
- Dining Niche: Keep 20–30 cm from the wall so leaves cast soft shadows—instant depth on pale plaster or limewash.
- Office Backdrop: Place just behind the camera line for video calls; broad leaves frame your shot without visual noise.
- Plant Cluster Hero: Pair with one velvety companion (Anthurium or Philodendron gloriosum) to contrast textures while ‘Blizzard’ leads on scale and light.
Care Blueprint (Simple, Repeatable Rhythm)
- Light: Bright, diffused daylight all day. Filter strong midday sun to protect pale tissue. If petioles stretch or whites mute, raise overall brightness (still filtered) rather than fertilizer.
- Water: When the top 2–3 cm (≈1 in) of mix dries, water thoroughly and let runoff clear. Favor steady moisture—not constantly wet—to preserve clean margins on high-white areas.
- Substrate: Oxygen-forward aroid blend—chunky orchid bark + coco fiber/coir + pumice/perlite, plus a modest sphagnum buffer and a touch of horticultural charcoal. Air first, even moisture second.
- Climate: Comfortable at 18–29 °C (65–85 °F) and ~50–70% RH with gentle airflow. A mild humidity bump refines big-leaf unfurls.
- Feeding: Light nutrition at ¼–½ strength in active months supports confident sizing and color clarity; prioritize light quality before extra feed.
- Shaping: Although largely self-heading, a discreet stake keeps the crown centered as leaves size up. Rotate a quarter-turn every two weeks for even color development around the canopy.
- Grooming: Dust two leaves weekly with a soft cloth so snow-white sectors photograph crisp; remove spent sheaths for a polished finish.
- Pet note: As with many aroids, keep foliage out of nibbling reach.
Troubleshooting (Signals → Adjustments)
- Long gaps / smaller leaves: Increase overall luminance (still filtered) and verify the newest leaf lives in your brightest safe pocket.
- Brown on white sectors: Usually late watering or unfiltered sun; tighten cadence and add sheer coverage.
- Perpetually wet mix: Boost bark/pumice fraction or step down one pot size to restore aeration.
- Dull new growth: Check light first; resume gentle feeding only after brightness is optimized.
Styling Palette
Planter finishes that flatter the snow-on-green story: sand, ecru, oatmeal, or charcoal in matte stoneware. Materials like raw oak, rattan, microcement, and honed travertine echo the natural, calm luxury of large, patterned leaves.

Interesting and important book
Format: Hardcover
This book looks at the motivations and demographics of the first wave of English immigrants to flee to what was to become the USA. Interestingly written, it explores the educations, positions of and the relationships of the earliest settlers to our east coast. I read it while researching our Family Tree and finding the people connected before coming, and for generations after. The endless Indian wars were a revelation, as was the tale of the oppressed becoming the oppressors as Quaker families fled Massachusetts for New Netherlands.

The Barbarous Years: The Peopling of British North America: The Conflict of... Bernard Bailyn
Format: Hardcover
A remarkable book!!!
I have never read such a comprehensive book on early United States history that contained so much information I had never read before.
How the status of "indentured servant" existed alongside the origins of slavery in Virginia and Maryland (along the Chesapeake Bay) was both remarkable and horrible.
That a white man (typically, landowner) could have a child with a (black) slave who would become a free person at adulthood (earliest laws) created problems (they needed the "help"), so this law of the 1650s-1660s was changed! And if a white (free) woman had a child with a (black) slave, the resulting child would remain a slave! Matrilineal or patrilineal human rights, that is the question.
Indentured servant, but with no expiration date.
I had never before read how people in this country were real "pioneers" in the creation of slavery - at least with slavery of humans captured from the continent of Africa! It seems that whatever voices of "Christian" decency there might have been at the time - church based values or ones simply based in the hearts of people living here - they were drowned out by commercial interests or those who simply couldn't be bothered by such concerns.
I hope you read this book and recommend it to your friends!
Sincerely,
Bob Cargill, Minneapolis

A decent primer -- no more.
Format: Hardcover
This is an odd book for one of America's premier historians. It isn't a bad book -- a person of Bailyn's erudition couldn't write a bad book -- but it doesn't hang together well. The author does not really have anything new to say and a historian of the Early Colonial Period will quickly recognize the usual sources. It is hard to see exactly what historiographical niche this book fills.
Even the title is misleading. Sure, Jamestown was barbarous enough by our standards and New Amsterdam was plenty harsh. But, the Bay Colony was, by the rough-and-ready standards of 17th century Europe, pretty civilized. (Compare it with the contemporaneous English Civil War or the Thirty Years War.) As for "Conflict of Civilizations," there was certainly enough of that but the most interesting part of the book, the last third or so on the Bay Colony, is largely an account of Puritan theological quarrels.
In fact, one senses that Bailyn felt like he was "home" when he wrote about the Bay Colony. He has, after all, written about New England since 1955 ("Merchants.") He gives the reader a clear account of the theological duels between Winthrop, Cotton, Hooker, Williams, Hutchinson and others. But, others have done this as well or better.
Bailyn all but ties himself in a knot to be politically correct toward the Native Americans. For every Indian atrocity he finds a matching atrocity in European civilization. Still, if captured in war one was likely to be a lot better off among the English, French or Dutch than the Pequods. A LOT better off!
This volume is part of a series that explores the settling of North America and hardly anyone is better equipped for this than the author. But, what begins as a good account of the horrors of Jamestown drifts into a twice-told tale of the niceties of Puritan disputation. It is almost as if Bailyn got bored half-way through and started channeling Perry Miller.
A good book in its way and quite useful for an upper division course or first-year graduate seminar. But, not well-written enough to snare the casual reader and not original enough to snare the professional historian. An odd number.

Sheds Light On A Dimly Perceived Period
Format: Kindle
This book is clearly intended for those of us (non-historians) curious about what is a dimly perceived period of North American colonial history. Living as I do in Tidewater Virginia, I consider myself fairly well versed with the earliest years of English settlement or invasion, depending on your point of view. But, I was wrong. I had, of course, read about the wretched first two years of the Jamestown enterprise, but I had no idea just how ghastly the conditions of the first twenty years of the English colonial period were. Wave after wave of newcomers simply starved or died of disease in those years. The mortality rate was shocking. So many people were dying off that the local Indians did not even think it necessary to kill these newcomers (which proved a mistake, of course). And this was not just at Jamestown. For example, the author says that in any given year in one county 30 to 40% of the children under the age of eight were orphans. And the origins of many of these earliest colonists -- orphans dumped by local churches, beggars snatched off of urban streets, prisoners marched from gaol to waiting ships, many poor people literally kidnapped or tricked into emigrating -- was eye-opening. Talk about the refuse of British society. (As an aside, anyone whose humble immigrant ancestors came to Virginia in those years can forget about doing any genealogical research. You will never find the answers to your questions.)
This does tend to be a bleak read. One of the things that jumped out at me was the sad, repetitive tale of European-Indian relations. It mattered not where one was. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Amsterdam, New York, the pattern is always the same. Trade and early friendly relations were quickly undermined by misunderstandings, stupidity, devious tricks, alcohol, and land disputes that led to attack and counter attack and massacres on both sides.
One of the things I did enjoy was the Indians' views of Christianity. Those mentioned by the author viewed it as little more than a strange dream. When the concept of a universal god was explained to them they laughed and called it a silly fable. I can only agree. My respect for their powers of reasoning and perspicacity rose immeasurably. Just who was the savage?

Interesting, but a little scattershot (3.75*s)
Format: Paperback
One thing is for certain, in this highly detailed work by the author, there is no attempt to sugarcoat the European experience in emigrating to America in the 17th century. He examines Virginia, the Chesapeake area, New York, and New England. In the initial stages merely surviving was an accomplishment. Most of the early settlers were clueless about overcoming the harsh conditions that they found, not to mention the savagery that the natives unleashed upon them without warning. A large supply of the weak and vulnerable facilitated this peopling of America, despite the dreadful conditions.
In addition, as the author shows in great detail, are the conflicts among the settlers. America was settled during a time of great political and religious clashes in England. Most of the settlers were Protestants, but held widely differing, contentious views about religious practice. Much of the governance of the colonies was autocratic, inept, and harsh. A good many of the settlers were indentured by contract for years and thereby were practically slaves, in contrast to the well connected who were granted huge estates. But even then, the author points out that the living standards for even the rich were terrible by European standards.
The book is definitely more sociology than historical. One learns about the origins of the settlers across America and the implications for the possibility of robust communities. The author definitely does not hold back on naming thousands of settlers across the colonies; it is difficult to slog through all of that. The book does seem a little scattershot in its organization and subject matter.
