Glasshouse Works

From: Al Wootten <awootten at NRAO.EDU> on 1997.02.24 at 21:15:25(428) Great job on the Anthurium and Mobot additions to the IAS page, I thought. Kudos to all involved! Paul Christian mentioned his URL, which rang a bell in my memory. Nice Arum and Biarum collection, Paul, in well-presented and informative pages. +More I had just received a catalog from the Glasshouse Works in Ohio http://www.rareplants.com (almost the same!) which had a number of interesting aroids in it also. There is a great photo of Anthurium crystallinum on their page, and lots of aroids (Alocasia, Philo., etc) in the catalog. Has anyone ordered from them before?

Both sent good quality plants that were, as far as I can tell (I order small seedlings), correctly identified.

From: LKnouff425 at aol.com on 1997.03.02 at 04:50:52(448) Yes, I've ordered enough from the Glasshouse Works to be in their million dollar club I think! But seriously, I've been happy with the actual plants although some of the inexpensive things can be quite small. With all of my orders they've thrown in a "bonus" plant as a surprise. I ordered A. Waroqueanum from them and the bonus plant was A.Crystallinium...quite a bonus and a pleasant surprise! Now for the downside. They do get backed up with orders at shipping time in the spring. I've found that the best way to deal with them is by phone with Tom Winn directly. He knows when plants will ship, availability and also about treasures that aren't in the catalog. He's very courteous and a pleasure to deal with. I don't have any qualms about recommending this supplier to anyone! Best of luck, Lisa Knouff
