Lurher I guess I amW. Fl and am on another collection. After

From: Durightmm at aol.com on 2000.06.22 at 22:37:04(4891) Lurker I am. I am new to th is format , but noit to many wriyers, who enjoyed the dialogue to become acquainted. So here goes I am an on, off, on again grower of too many years. I live in SW. Fl who after the vacation found remnants of the former collection doing very well. Those are the ones to grow. Hoever I am well onto another collection. A poser: A number of years ago Monroe Birdsey shared an anthurium with Jack Johnson. For years he never flowered it and before his demise gave it to JAck Williford. It produced seed for Jack who sent them to me. After a 95% germination I have seedlings that I have never seen before. The plant is pachyneurum like, has narrow aacumoinate leaves, short petiole :D: shaped. Mid vein raised nearly to the tip. Broader near the top. Persistant cataphylls. Leaf color reminescent of A. superb um or A. wilifordii . Mildly bullate- at this time- Whilee I know this matches others I believe there are key clues for those who might be more intimate with Birdsys collection than I. We are about to recover from a serious drought that destroyed or set back acres of citrus and the loss of precious plants. Hiope to be more resposive in the future. Nice hearing ffrom old friends

From: Denis denis at skg.com> on 2000.07.03 at 19:43:28(4966) Dear Joe: Sorry to be so late in response to your E-mail but I was on vacation for two weeks and have not had time to respond to the e-mails on Aroid L. +More In reference to the Unidentified Pachyneurium from Dr Birdsey's Backyard; he used to have a clump of what he called Anthurium crassinervium variety cripimarginatum under the pine trees in bright shade. The mature plants were 5 to 6 feet tall with narrow (8 to 10" wide) very upright dark green, thick leaves with prominent veins and very wavy margins. He gave me a bunchof seeds one year at our propagation meeting in the eighties and at the time I thought the resulting plants were too tall and too prone to bacteria for commercial nursery production. Since his plant were growing "au natural"and showed no signs of bacterial infection, Monroe thought that the susceptibility to bacteria was a result of growing under a fiberglass roof which blocked the beneficial spectrum of the sun's light. Subsequently, in 1992 we were run over by Hurricane Andrew and lost the one or two plants that we had held onto. If this is not the plant to which you are referring I don't know of any other bird nest types I can recall Monroe's yard that fit your description. Maybe somebody else's recollection is better than mine...I've been known to be wrong a lot lately.

From: Durightmm at aol.com on 2000.07.05 at 01:44:19(4983) Thanks Denis for the info. I have since learned the mature plant grows no more than 40" that rules out your suggestion. Another possible key is it's scales that provide a glistening sheen on the leaf surface. It is more cardiolonchium like. I suppose eventually it's ID will be known. Joe
