Return of Hercules

From: "James W. Waddick" <jim-jim at swbell.net> on 1997.07.21 at 13:06:02(979) Dear Aroid-L; I wrote to an enlightened member of another email robin. She lives a half hour away from Western Hills Nursery. I asked if she'd pick up a bunch of small pots of "Hercules"* on our behalf, mail them all in a box to me and I'll distribute them to anyone who has prepaid and pre-ordered. She thought it might be fun to spend someone else's money and agreed to do that. I have not contacted WH to see if any of this is true, but it is rumored that small pots sell for $3.50@: with tax and 2 shippings (CA-KC, KC to buyer), I'll try to keep it to $6 @. If that sounds OK to you. Please send me your order by Private Email in the next day or two and a check to follow pronto so I can send a prepaid order by the end of July. Even if you have already asked before, please resend you request. Questions? Thanks Best Jim W. * Z. "Hercules - a giant calla that is alleged to get to 7ft. James W.

'Hercules' with the intent of sending them to interested folks directly. No monies involved, just some friendly trading. I'm thinking this could be a fun way to expand my collection and at the same time help out those AROID-L'ers who happen to be out of driving range to Western Hill. My passion lies mainly with the tropical aroids, but I'd welcome anything you think might be interesting, equitable or hopefully both! I should state up front that I've not confirmed with Maggie (the owner) how many plants remain at this time, and she's only open Thursday -> Sunday, hence I won't know for sure how real this all is until 7/24 (unless she answers the phone before then). I remind that Sean O'Hara mentioned on 11 July that there were "numerous 1 gal. specimens at this time and some 3".... Please email me directly if this may be of interest.
