Re: 2nd Annual Aroid show?

**&* R* <d*@skg.com>**

If somebody decides to do a California show, the plants displayed and
sold will be mainly California plants. California is very protective of
its plant industry and does not welcome with open arms any plants from
other states, particularly Florida. So shipping in plants from my
nursery is not a possibility.

I most hardily suggest that California Aroiders get together, form a
show committee  and decide when a where and how they wish to do a show.
Do not worry about the East Coast.

Hello Aroiders,

I would like to make the suggestion of switching coasts annually so  
that those of us on the west coast could have a better chance of  
attending.  I also do like the idea of taking the plants to the  
people and having the show do some sort of country tour hitting a  
different location each year that highlights a botanical garden or  
location that would have a display of aroids for us to drool over.

I do suppose one of the most difficult issues would be the  
transporting of plants for sale.  Obviously a lot of the suppliers  
for the Florida show are from that area and only have to load up a  
truck to deliver the goods.
