The 'Ceres' Peace Lily is a hybrid Spath from Braam Young Plants out of Holland. This truly unique new Spath is quite remarkable in that it breaks or self branches from a single micro-cutting from Tissue Culture. 'Ceres' leaves are thicker than the normal Spath and they are one half as wide as they are long. Consistence is probably a good description of its symmetrical shape. It is quite floriferous with crisp white blooms. The blooms are medium to large for the size of the plant. 'Ceres' has a flat satin green color, and is proving to be one of the more durable Spathiphyllum for 6" to 8" production.
