Dear Friend,
There is an early Aroideana with good B+W photos of
Betty Waterbury w/ plants of this in Brazil back when
they got the first plants that eventually became the
source of the one auctioned each year in Miami.
There were thoughts of having the plants here put into
tissue culture and also the start of a breeding
program (with pollination and seed being tried for)
based in Miami, I do not know if either of these GOOD
plans have moved forward.
