Thanks Beth! I know many of the Anthurium
collectors are going to drool over these. Since your links did not come out
highlighted I'm copying them to make it easier to simply click and go right to
the page:
If you love Aroids, you are going to want some of these
plants. And Julius, I'd bet you saw Beth's really strange Anthurium near
the oil fields!

Hello group!
Steve over at Exotic Rainforest sent me
an email recently saying that I should share my in-situ photos of the aroids
I encounter when out hiking. I live in Ecuador, in close proximity to some
of the cloud forests where Dr. Croat does his collections. Rather than fill
your inboxes up with dozens of attachments, I've uploaded them to a gallery
at
for your viewing pleasure. Some of the aroids there, I have been able
to identify (with Steve's and others' kind help) and others remain NOIDS.
Many of the photos are of juvenile forms that spring up from the edges of
road cuts. If any of you recognise them, please let me know and I will
update their labels accordingly!
There are two photos marked "Mystery
Anthurium" which Dr. Croat believes may be new species. If you are
interested in seeing more photos of this particular species, they are
at
http://photobucket.com/UnknownAnthurium
There are four or five
specimens of it growing in the Quito Botanical Gardens, which is where I
took the photos of it. It appears to have been rescued from the oil pipeline
near Mindo, Ecuador; beyond this, garden staff don't know anything about it.
It is a very large, freestanding plant - the initial photos are of leaves
just a hair over 6' in length; later photos are of younger leaves which were
only about 46" - still fairly impressive.
I hope you
enjoy!
Beth
