Yes, I'm still signed up to Alpine-L and would be happy to post a
query.
I rather skipped the other messages in this thread as I have not
ordered from Chen Yi nor do I intend to at this point, so I'm not
even sure what the original question was:-)
Arisaema-L and Aroid-L, my general impression is that you "pays yor
money and you takes yor chances".
Seems to be a consensus that what you get may or may not be what it
was sold as; some plants she ships being new to cultivation and her
naming being a bit creative (or confused) sometimes. No question
that her list contains plants simply unavailable elsewhere.
When Arisaema from her mature, there is always a spate of ID posts on
Arisaema-L as those growing them try to key them out properly. There
is also the chance that what you order will be DOA, but considering
the distance and what the plants have to go through, this is
something that can happen with any foreign order.
Also seems to be a consensus that she is worth supporting because she
is making available plants that otherwise would not be...but you need
to go into an order with your eyes open to all possibilities.
