Dear All,
I am very impressed reading Taylor Holzer's
article. Thanks to today's media we can broaden our horizons
independently if we are 15 or 85 years. I began
collecting aroids when I was 23, and my first
photos were published in a national gardening
magazine when I was about 27. I can only imagine
what a difficulty was to obtain plants in times of
Linnaeus or Schott, without telephones, airplanes and even photos.
Even in the late 1990s I was exchanging plants with
other enthusiasts through announcements in
the garden press and writing paper letters to
botanic gardens. Now seeing so many aroids on auctions
we must think what to choose. It doesn't matter
if we are young or old, poor or rich, professionals or
amateurs,
everyday we discover
something new in the aroid world (for example that a leaf of
Nephthytis changes shape with age).
Happy New Year to Everyone (who
celebrates)
Marek Argent
