I�ve joined Aroid-l just recently and live in Gothenburg, Sweden. I
grow app. 20 spp of Amorphophallus in my apartment on a hobby level
and some other aroid genera as well. I�ve been an employe� of the
Gothenburg Botanical Garden for the past ten years where my field of
work consists of raising and propagating woody plants at our nursery
(where I also grow quite a few Arisaemas as well). I would also be
very interested in the searchable PDF-file of the Aroid-l archives.

Hello,
I am Devan Parker from Massachusetts.
I am mainly interested in Amorphophallus. I obtained A. konjac a year ago then started to research other Amorphs and their fascinating flower structures hooked me. I would like to obtain more Amorph species (preferably as seeds) and maybe other species. I have not joined IAS yet but am enjoying this group.
Amorphophallus species:

Konjac

Alocasia / Colocasia
Temperate Aroids :
Arisaema, Symplocarpus, Lysichiton americanus
L. camtschatcensis
Cryptosperma, Monstera, Philodendron
Caladium, Homalomena,Sauromatum, Zantedeshia
and aquatics :
Acorus, Anubias, Cryptocoryne.
I know I forgot a few !!
I am also interested in the propagation of Aroids,
and utilizing these great plants in garden situations,
either in containers, or " in ground",
here in USDA Zone 5b -a.
Which of course, means They spend their winters indoors here.
