Re: [aroid-l] Some philo questions

Roz, this list has been very quiet of late so that could be why you aren't getting any emails.

Hi folks!

I'm brand new to this list, so I thought I'd start by introducing
myself.  I'm Roz, I live in Culver City in Southern California, and I'm
a totally novice aroid grower.  I live in an apartment and do a lot of
indoor growing, but most of my experience is with gesneriads.  I've
started to get interested in aroids because every time I go to botanical
gardens or greenhouses lately, it seems that most of the plants that
fascinate me are aroids.

I hadn't realized that there were some philodendron varieties with
variegated foilage in colors other than shades of green and white.  In
particular I've noticed a variety called 'Pink Princess' and I had a few
questions about it:

1) Is 'Pink Princess' considered rare or exotic by aroid growers?
2) I've noticed on the webpages of some nurseries or aroid growers, two
other varieties: "Pink Prince' and 'Pink Lady' - are these varieties
distinct from 'Pink Princess' or are they all essentially the same name
for the same plant?
3)  In my web searches, I've also seen references to a place called
"Bamboo Nurseries" - where is it located, and does it have a website?

My apologies is these questions are too basic or have been covered a lot
in past posts.  As I said, I'm very much a novice with aroids.

Finally, I'm having problems subscribing to this list - the list serve
engine keeps telling me I'm subscribed, but I don't seem to be getting
any messages.  So until I figure this out, I'd very much appreciate it
if you could cc my personal e-mail with your response.

Thank you all so much.
