Dear All,
I`d just like to enquire as to what sucess was had the folks who ordered
seed of the different Philodendron seed from S. America some time ago,
especially if the resulting plants turned out to be or even look like the
species they were advertised to be???? The reason I ask is that one
friend so very kindly sent three seedlings of what were sold to her as being
P. saxicolum, these have now grown large enough to see that they are
something else BESIDES P. saxicolum, probably what we would call P.
'selloum' or one of its close relations. For legal concerns I am not
using the name of the Company from which they were ordered, but I`d like to
hear comments on your seedlings. Recently I had spoken w/ a member who
ordered seed from this same Company MANY years ago, he told me his yard had
beautiful specimens of what appeared to be a BUNCH of P. 'selloum', no other
species of Philo. could be discovered amongst the plants grown from many
'advertised' species.
Drop a line to the L.
Good Growing,
Julius
