  Looking for recommendations of places to visit in Miami
From: <rozgold at pacbell.net> on 2017.01.03 at 20:14:41(23727)
Friends:

I'm going to be in Miami for just a few days the third week in January. I'm definitely going to spend time at the Fairchild Tropical Garden, but I was wondering whether folks had recommendations of other places I should visit to see aroids. I'm from California, and I particularly like aglaonema hybrids. Are there any nurseries or other places that have a good selection available for purchase? There's just a few hybrids that we ever see out in California, and Florida growers seem to have a fair greater variety. I'm also interested in just visiting places with interesting gardens.

Thanks in advance!

-Roz, in Los Angeles

Hi Roz,

For general information to you and others, sadly Dr. Frank Brown passed away some years a and I don't know who is maintaining his collection. It might be his long-time associate Clay Millare, I believe he's still in the Valkaria, Fla area running a retail nursery. You might check the IAS membership roles to find him, he might be listed under Cleofar Millare.

I can recommend two or three nurseries in the Miami area that have aroids, but I don't have time right now to get names and addresses for you.
I'll post that information as soon as possible, next day or two at most.

I have a large collection of aglaonemas so let me know if you're interested in my list. I have a few species plus some of the colorful Thai rotundum hybrids, as well as a lot of vintage and newer non-rotundum hybrids. My main interest are species and vintage hybrids from the 60s and early 70s.

Back to you later,
Russ, central Florida
