From: Sheldon Hatheway <sfhatheway at yahoo.com> on 2012.02.07 at 07:44:27(22555) Hello, Mr. Baker!! I just happen to have a variegated Monstera deliciosa growing in the ground in my greenhouse. It has two stems. The taller of the two is only slightly variegated, but grows better. The shorter stem (about 2' and half a dozen leaves) long shows much better variegation, but doesn't grow nearly as vigorously as the greener stem. The leaves are split, but have not yet assumed the mature form with the 2' wide leaves, rough petioles, thick stems, short internodes, etc. My regular Monsteras are a little over 40 years old and have had their mature form for more than 30 of those. The variegated stem has aerial roots, but none have reached the ground yet to form regular roots. I would be happy to send you a cutting for the cost of postage, but it won't be safe to ship until Spring or early Summer. That would also give me time to get some real roots on it. Let me know if you're still interested.

From: Kyle Baker <kylefletcherbaker at yahoo.com> on 2012.02.08 at 08:27:17(22560) cue music....... Hey Jude, Thanx for the post... what once was lost now is found, it seems that once you ask the question, the answer is before you. I've had several folks who have offered up a small bit of what they have so not wanting to seem greedy or rude, I'm going to ask what variety each person has, Yes I'd like two or three varieties if possible, not I don't want to offend anyone. There is Monstera 'Constellation', another white variegated form and a yellow form supposedly. I greatly appreciate your generosity and can and shall pay for shipping, , just don't send anything until end of April and when I have the whole of the offers sorted out, I care to have no unnecessary plant hacking upon my conscience..... Have a wonderful day, I apologize for lateness in getting back to you...I just found your post Mr. Kyle Fletcher Baker, MCN Maine Zone 5 HTML +More From: The Silent Seed To: aroid-l@www.gizmoworks.com Sent: Saturday, February 4, 2012 1:45 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] sources.......variegated M.deliciosa?
