[aroid-l] If you want an Amorphophallus..........2003

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2003.03.10 at 15:01:24(10038) Peoples, Here we go again.........some leftovers of last year's growing season that was relatively successful. The list of goodies is added at the end. I have copied the instruction-text and policy statements below of last year's distribution. Read it well, so I won't get a load of superfluous mails. Honestly, everything you need to know to get material is listed below. Hope ye all read it well......especially the way I would like you to return your request (address etc. included, bla, bla, see below). Do not forget to SAVE THIS MESSAGE in case you need it again. This year we have a rather short window in time, so I would like you all to have your request in at the LATEST on saturday March 15, which will give you one week to make up your mind! The distribution of plants within the USA will be kindly assisted again by Alan Galloway. We will ship everything to him and he'll distribute from there. Thank you Alan! ONE IMPORTANT ISSUE, AS IN EVERY YEAR, DON'T USE THE REPLY-KEY FOR THE ORDER OR THE MODERATORS OF THIS LIST WILL GO CRAZY. For the correct mailing addres see further below. As always I will try to get something for everyone, so do not expect that you get all you list, there just isn't enough to do that. Extra useful this year may be the updated IAS website where Amorphophallus pictures are plenty now, so you may try to find the species you want there, or answer the question what this or that species looks like. Goto: http://www.aroid.org/genera/amorphophallus/amlist.html This also goes for a number of the non-phalloids, which you can find via the genera-page: http://www.aroid.org/genera/index.html The two major name changes that affected this list is that from Am. swynnertonii to Am. mossambicensis and from Taccarum weddellianum to T. caudatum.. So if you have material formerly distributed by me as Am. swynnertonii (or in fact too Am. richardsii), then change the label to Am. mossambicensis and don't order it again based on the new name. It is the same thing, so let others have a change of requiring it. Same goes for the Taccarum name change. Cheerio, Wilbert +More ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________ A few policy remarks etc. - the list contains plant names, often preceded by clone numbers. If you want a particular clone of a species (because you already had another one from an earlier distribution and want to play with the naughty bits to get seed.....), please mention the clone number with the species name. If you want a clone, any clone, don't indicate a number. - the tubers will be sent with phytosanitary certificates. - the tubers will be sent with the clone numbers, whether you requested a particular clone or not. PLEASE, try to keep the clone number with your plant on a label. There may come a time, when all of our collection freezes over and I may have to ask your help to build it up again......(your WORST nightmare, I know!). - my paying policy hasn't changed, so here it is again. I am not asking particular amounts of money for species, so rarity etc. doesn't matter. What I ask you to pay, is what you yourself think the ordered plants are worth for you, and please, DO include your own financial state-of-affairs in your considerations. If you don't have much to spend, then don't. I'm happy that you get these freaky plants. If you have plants to swap in return, that's fine, I'll be waiting for the offer....... - do NOT pay before you get your plants. Then decide if everything is o.k. Subtract from the estimated amount the plants that were DOA (and please, mention this to me). - paying: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, NO cheques or anything like it (incl. money orders or what not). I only accept cash in an envelope. I know, this is not the most secure way, but the hassle I have with cashing cheques is beyond your imagination. It also costs a damn lot of money to do it. As if banks didn't have enough of that stuff. So, don't even consider to do it or ask me, the answer is "no"!, ONLY cash. Thus far it has worked perfectly this way. My postal address: Wilbert Hetterscheid Chrysantenstraat 28 1214 BM Hilversum Netherlands - direct all orders and related electronic correspondence to: hetter@worldonline.nl - PLEASE include your postal address in your ordering email. This has often been forgotten in the past and that is a horror for the admin people. No address, no plants. - the CLOSING CEREMONY for this distribution is set on SATURDAY 15 MARCH!!!! ANY order coming in later, will only be rewarded with left-overs, if there are any at all. (Hell, even I don't know what constitutes a "left-over" in Amorphophallus............). - I assume that the shipping will start some two or weeks after the closing date. Please indicate if your climate is a danger to the plants in that period. I don't think we can avoid sending them but maybe you have an alternative address. If not, don't order. We cannot keep the plants here for too long because they will wake up and deteriorate. - print out or keep this entire message because I am not going to repeat things in individual messages. - when you order by using the reply key, please "cut the crap", meaning, cut out all my statements above and stick to the list, your postal adress and what you have to say yourself. Thanks. So, folks, here's the list.
