Re: [Aroid-l] gGbberellic acid and inflorescence production

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2009.07.31 at 17:10:31 Thanks Sherry, but I still considermyself a long way from having a "wealth of knowledge".  Like the restof us I just have access to the knowledge of the real experts which caneasily be found on the IAS website. And please allow me to use that to lead in to a reminder to those thathaven't joined the International Aroid Society just yet to considerdoing so right now!  The IAS show is coming up on September 20 and 21at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens in Miami and I'm personally on apush to get all my friends (that means all of you) to attend the show. The amount of knowledge available to members at the show (not countingthe plants) is incredible so please do join IAS and attend the show. By the way, did you know that many, many aroid descriptions can befound on the IAS site?  I use it and my entire library of Aroideanaalmost every day of the year! I hope to see all of you there! Here's the link to join:  http://www.aroid.org/society/joinias.php And members, your copy of Aroideana should be in the mail!
