Plains woman grows legendary philodendron in Ohio

Mrs. LaDonna Shumway of The Plains boasts a philodendron perhaps the largest in Ohio. She estimates a length of 25 to 30 feet, kept in a desk sized planter. The plant is watered weekly with a gallon of water, and the family notes its nine year old vitality amid other plants and work as a upholsterer and assistant to Dr. Sigmund Konigseder in Athens. Her daughter Cathy is a sophomore at Athens High School, daughter Brenda lives at The Plains, and her son Gary was killed in Vietnam four years ago.
