Dear Alan,

Thanks so much for posting the pic. for our enjoyment!
I can not find adequate words to describe this truly magnificent Anthurium
species, one that I did not even know existed!    Tghe only Aroid that can
remember that so impressed me was a species of Alocasia that Reggie
Whitehead showed at a Miami Aroid show three years or so back!    I would
ask that we try to find out the difficulties hinted at in growing this
treasure!

Thanks again!

Julius

Anthurium regale (Linden)   This remarkable species was introduced into
horticulture in 1866.  In the recent IAS beauty contest for Anthuriums, this
handsome species only received 4% of the vote.  We suspect that its rarity
in collections is the reason it got so few votes.  An online picute of this
aroid
can be seen at:
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~alan/plants/aroids/anthurium/1.html   This grand
specimen was grown by Dr. Darian of Vista, California.  The species is
native to Peru and has been collected by Dr. Plowman and Dr. Croat in the
past.   Its demanding cultural requirements are a testament to Dr. Darian's
horticultural achievements.
