This should put to rest any nasty letters, but probably will not. Just igore them. Also, you don`t need to explain ANYTHING about your photos quality, they are GREAT and do exactly the job they were intended to!! Please change the word "she" to "her'' where I speak about Deni Bown`s book. I`d also explain that the photo of a scrab is of a GIANT scrab, probably a female Megasoma sp.(?), which feed on rotting fruit and the fermenting flows from cracks in certain trees) and NOT one of the smaller Cyclocephala sps. which do pollinate Philodendrons and other aroids. There is an excellent photo of many Cyclocephaline scarabs on a Philodendron bloom in an early Aroideana, why not find it, ask permission, and use it in your article/page?? Or you can refer readers to it? Must rush off, so we shall talk later. The Best, Julius +More > All the information posted on this forum regarding my photographs of the spathe of Philodendron sagittifolium has now been reviewed by aroid botanist Dr. Tom Croat of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
