Looking for recommendations of places to visit in Miami

**R* <b*@yahoo.com>**

--------------------------------------------
Hi Roz,

For general information to you and others, sadly Dr. Frank Brown passed away some years a and I don't know who is maintaining his collection. It might be his long-time associate Clay Millare, I believe he's still in the Valkaria, Fla area running a retail nursery. You might check the IAS membership roles to find him, he might be listed under Cleofar Millare. 

I can recommend two or three nurseries in the Miami area that have aroids, but I don't have time right now to get names and addresses for you.
I'll post that information as soon as possible, next day or two at most.

I have a large collection of aglaonemas so let me know if you're interested in my list. I have a few species plus some of the colorful Thai rotundum hybrids, as well as a lot of vintage and newer non-rotundum hybrids. My main interest are species and vintage hybrids from the 60s and early 70s. 

Back to you later,
Russ, central Florida

 Friends:
 I'm going to be in Miami for just a few days the third week
 in January. ?I'm definitely going to spend time at the
 Fairchild Tropical Garden, but I was wondering whether folks
 had recommendations of other places I should visit to see
 aroids. ?I'm from California, and I particularly like
 aglaonema hybrids. ?Are there any nurseries or other places
 that have a good selection available for purchase? ?There's
 just a few hybrids that we ever see out in California, and
 Florida growers seem to have a fair greater variety. ?I'm
 also interested in just visiting places with interesting
 gardens.
 Thanks in advance!

 You might do well to drop in on TPIE for a day. They are
 usually around January 20th and there are a number of
 breeders and brokers who are marketing aglaonema hybrids.
 Their show is in Fort Lauderdale.

 Dear Roz:

 The best holdings of Aglaonema is the Frank Brown
 collection.  I don?t know if he is still around or not
 but contact Bill Rotolante, Reggie Whitehead, Ron Weeks or
 Enid Offelter to see if they know.  Frank Brown
 collected Aglaonema in Thailand and hybridized many.

 Tom
