Rare Bloom: For 12 years this spade-leaf philodendron has been growing in the weights and measures office at the County Building and for the first time a bloom popped out among the waxen leaves this spring. George Smith, who is the county sealer of weights and measures, is shown checking the growth. Smith said that countless persons have stopped to examine the bloom and none has ever heard of a philodendron blossoming forth as a house plant.
