International Aroid Society

Thank you Marek,

As I mentioned earlier, the original was not intended for wide distribution, but has accomplished its purpose. I have now been invited to make a presentation on Aroids to a fairly large and esteemed group here in Fort Worth. So the original is now being converted to a Powerpoint presentation with an extensive prologue describing Aroids.

Having my missionary cape on, I am now seeking other groups to which I can make this presentation. Hopefully, before I am through, I will have made a convert or two to our denomination (e.g. Aroids).

Regards,

David Leedy

Hello,

=0A

I let myself to make small changes, just to let people outside =0ATexas know where Fort Worth is and that Typhonium sp. (the original =0Apicture) is not Arum.

James,

Thanks for your email. Attached was sent out to a very =0A few people in the Fort Worth area. I am in my missionary mode and trying =0A to get converts to Arum and aroids in general.

Speaking of James Waddick and I must speak of our other mutual =0A love, Lycoris. This was not a good year for Lycoris radiata in that =0A there were only 20 or so blooms in my front yard, last year there were over =0A 500. My biggest disappointment, however, is Lycoris albiflora and =0A Lycoris aurea, neither of which bloomed this year, their second year in my =0A Lycoris garden. Now the foliage is all up like nothing happened and that =0A is true, nothing did. I didn't expect flowers from the Spring foliage =0A Lycoris or from new acquisitions, but those two better get with it or they are =0A going to get thrown out in a couple of years. :)

I am interested in the experiences of others, =0A particularly with hygrophyllum and, maybe, rupicola. =0A

Dear David and all,
=0A
I have grown Arum hygrophilum =0A (note spelling?) in the Kansas City metro area for upwards of 10 years. This =0A is a Zone 5/6 location with extended droughts and low rainfall. Although we =0A have already had a couple nights of 15 F the foliage remains undamaged. Colder =0A nights are expected and some more foliage damages, too. It recovers in =0A spring and blooms regularly. In short reliable and hardy =0A here.

This spring I planted some tubers of =0A Arum creticum after years of thinking they were too tender. I saw a single =0A plant in bloom in a garden just north of Wichta, KS and was inspired. So far =0A the foliage is just emerging and remains undamaged. Fingers firmly =0A crossed.
=0A

I have a plant labelled rupicola =0A which survives here, but I have doubts to ID and must compare to Peter Boyce=E2=80=99s =0A book one of these bloom seasons.
=0A

Hope this helps. Jim =0A W.
