Thanks! > >Ellen Hornig Dear Ellen; Can't fill your fantasies, but did get seed from NARGS seed exchange listed as "A. triphyllum "Variegatum" with two sources: Louis Myers, Hawley, PA and William Dress, Ithaca,NY. Any chance you know either/both and what is the "Variegatum' part? If they weren't all planted, I gladly share a few- look for seedlings if and when. If fantasizing, I'd like to get one with a pure white spathe and the wildly clean white splashed foliage. Dream on. Jim W. +More Voice: 816 746 1949 James W.

Any chance you know >either/both and what is the "Variegatum' part? In the '93 Nargs list was the same seed from Myers (address then Brooklyn). I got it and am growing on all 3 seeds. Last summer noted that the leaves of one of the plants appeared similar to the 'Mrs. French' variety, with accentuation of the veining pattern, but nothing that I would call "variegated". +More Ellen, Professor Dress is a friend of Nina's (he translated the Latin description of A. bockii for me last year), so you should be able to get the lowdown on his plants. I don't know of anyone ever describing a variegated leaf form of A. triphyllum. What about it, Guy? Ray? Roy? Jim McClements

As you said, it doesn't sound exactly stunning; he described it as having yellow shading around the main leaf veins, and not very pronounced at that. Sounds a bit chlorotic, really. I'll try to get to Ithaca (only 2 hrs) to see it when it leafs out, and will take some pictures if I do. Ellen
