[Aroid-l] Aroideana

From: jmdeluca05 at earthlink.net (jmdeluca05 at earthlink.net) on 2007.09.12 at 08:52:33(16264) I agree with Russ. But then it's probably what you like...I grow mostly Alocasias, Colocasias, Xanthosomas, Dieffenbachias, Aglaonemas, philos and anthuriums. I have a few tuberous aroids, but they do not interest me as much. Hopefully, Aroideana will become more well-rounded in the future.

I have been highly disappointed at the over-emphasis of amorphophallus and other tuberous aroids in the most recent decades, so much so that I occasionally consider canceling my membership and subscription. Sadly, aglaonema, syngonium, raphidophora, epipremnum and other genera are only occasionally mentioned these days. I guess I'm old school, I find the tuberous aroids boring and only slightly interesting. I have no clue why they have taken Society members by storm.

I find it more intersting than 90' issues;Thanks to all writers contributors for their useful work! I take this opportunity to inform aroiders who received from me in 2004 Amorphophallus sp. from Malawi bulbs that I can confirm the species : Amorphophallus impressus. One larger tuber has flowering in june and revelated his identity. A second species I collected in north Zambia also has flowering too for the first time :A.mossambicensis. Those african species are not so hard to grow and corm storage is easier than Asian species. for the rest,we get the worst weather I ever experienced for a growing season: Lot of rains,few sun,low T? and no summer conditions...totaly crazy! Without any doubt,I prefer dry and hot summer we had previously! Best regards, Jean-luc , France jlgatard at aol.com www.jubii.fr c'est une seule interface pour communiquer.
