Re: [aroid-l] Anthurium regale

Stunning -- a crystalinum on steroids.

I would also be interested in potential sources and available information on its requirements.

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.
