Ms or Mr. Stella!
If you please! Spathigarruliphile!. Sorry you don't like supernatural Peace
Lilies in all the Shopping Malls you go to. And, isn't it good that they
clean the air in all your Doctors Surgeries? Please tell us how you prefer
Phalloids as House Plants? And - Sweetie pie, with all this
stuff splurtng in all directions how about just a teeny weeny
article for the next IAS News - about the nature bit?
Yours graciously
Ron - World Spathiphyllum Assemblage
Laura - don't be put off by this naturist on the rampage. 99.9% of the
Western & Eastern World love white perfumed Spathiphyllum & their near
variegated leaved
relatives, Aglaonemas. They are THE House plants of the future & you are in
the forefront of those most discerning
people who are now discovering them. I hope you will join the IAS.

Aglaonemas...very much an overlooked genus in this group, with so many of us
Amorpho-freaks, Anthurium fanciers, and one very vocal Spathi-phile. I love
those aroids you don't see in every shopping mall lobby or doctor's waiting
room (obviously, that lets out P. bipinnatifidum). Aglaonema is a genus I
would love to see in its natural habitat, blooming, with a crowd of
pollinators around. I find I grow fewer and fewer houseplants as the years
go by, because plants inside a house, detached from their ecological niches,
are of less and less interest to me. One day I shall find the wild
Aglaonema....
