Unknown aroid pict. now available!

From: Don Martinson <dmartin at post.its.mcw.edu> on 1998.03.22 at 06:11:11(1970) Dear Aroiders, The picture of my Mystery Aroid from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is now viewable at: http://www.execpc.com/~llmen/anthur1.jpg Both Don Burns and Tom Croat took a stab at ID-ing it from my admittedly vague description, both suggesting one of several species of Anthurium (Pachyneurium section). I regret I wasn't able to get a picture of the fruiting bodies - my film ran out! They were both pretty well mature with yellowish-green, somewhat translucent berries. I did manage to collect some seed and would be happy to make it available to anyone interested. Please contact me by private e-mail. Thanks again for everyone's help.

From: Dana Scholle <dana at homecom.com> on 1998.03.27 at 21:15:14(1987) I have this exact same plant at home.. It's labeled Anthurium "Rancho Ruffles" I think it's of the Hookeri (sp?) persuasion.

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.03.29 at 05:56:24(1988) Yes, I thought it was A. plowmanii... which is the botanical name for A. "Rancho Ruffles"... Which, btw, I introduced into the trade many years ago... However, A. plowmanii has red berries and thus is eliminated from consideration as subject plant is said to have yellow berries... Tom, have you had the opportunity to check this out... Dewey +More >I have this exact same plant at home..

I can't recall if I mentioned it, but the seeds from this which Dewey sent over a year ago are all fine plants now--7 of them--and I'm looking forward to seeing flower sometime now...mine do not look so ruffled as in the picture, however.

Somewhere I have a picture which I will scan... They become more ruffled as they get older, and don't build too much expectations while waiting for the flowers - they are barely noticeable. One of my seedlings from the same batch distributed by Dewey has put up two inflorescences about a month ago. I snapped some photos to document this event (and, incidentally, an increase in the leaf ruffliness :-) - they can be seen at: http://www.netgate.net/~kk/Araceae/Anthurium/plowmanii.html KK ==================== Krzysztof Kozminski kk@netgate.net http://www.netgate.net/~kk/

From: Dana Scholle <dana at homecom.com> on 1998.04.07 at 18:52:05(2005) Interesting I had always thought it was a hookeri mutation, but then I don't know much about anthuriums! hehe.. Well, for everyone out there in aroidland, I heartily recommend this plant, though.. It's pretty sturdy.. I've managed to forget to water it for a couple months at a time when my schedule gets really hectic, and not only does it NOT show any ill effects but the durned thing is BLOOMING.. *laugh* (Plus it looks really cool too heheh) +More At 11:56 PM 3/28/98 -0600, you wrote: >Yes, I thought it was A. plowmanii... which is the botanical name for A. >"Rancho Ruffles"...
