Dear Paul,
Yes, confirmation of ones thoughts is always good! :--)>
The secret to my aroid happines is staying small and growing just a few nice
plants!
Best Wishes,

Always nice to have confirmation of these things <grin>.

I'd need to put another level on my house to grow them I'd hazad, given teh
apparent size of some of these. I really do not have an indoor plant
friendly house unfortunately. I grow a lot of stuff indoors udner lights,
but will not be expanding to large amounts of Anthuriums me thinks <big
grin>. Might try to odd one or two though.
This list is definitely a big benefit for finding out about genera we
aren't familiar with, and of course finding sources of seed for rare little
beasties that we don't have (I have 4 happy little Amorphophallus lewallei
thanks to Wilbert, and two other cold-tolerant species powering along
thanks to someone else). Wonderful people in these parts!!
Cheers.
