Re: Hardy Aroids

From: "Dr. Victor G. Soukup" <soukupvg at UCBEH.SAN.UC.EDU> on 1997.10.28 at 17:44:00(1543) Calla palustris normally grows in wet bogs in mostly full sun. For a source I suggest that you look for plants in Michigan and when you spot some (there are usually a lot of them, or one plant with many, many leads), just reach in and pull up a front lead. Calla is not a rare plant and removing one or two will not destroy the populations. Be careful, hpwever, because massasauga rattlesnakes like the drier portions of these same habitats, and in trying to avoid the deeper, muckier pools you are apt to head for the higher drier ground. Good luck, Vic Soukup +More On Mon, 27 Oct 1997, Don Martinson wrote: > >James W.
