VIII Int. Aroid Conference Posters

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.05.18 at 02:21:52(2163) Posters proclaiming Dr. Tom Croat's "VIII International Aroid Conference" are now available. Stig Dalstrom, widely acclaimed artist and botanical illustrator, produced the painting for this poster. In his ineffable style, Stig offers a unique view of the Lita, Ecuador environs, a threatened region recognized as a botanical "hot spot" for species diversity in the Neotropics. Moss-covered trees heavily laden with epiphytic aroids and other plants endemic to this area rise in the background. Prominent in this realistically lush rainforest scene is Anthurium andreanum with two magnificent red inflorescences. Other notable features include a palm tree with an Aroid growing in the boots, while a small stream meandering through the landscape eventually cascades into a rocky waterfall. Elegant, minute details draw the viewer's eye deeper... flowering bromeliads nest in a tree canopy's upper branches, and Phragmipedium hertzii perches on a rock face overlooking the waterfall. Poster size is 18" x 24".
