Re: [Aroid-l] Aroid id please?

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.11.20 at 13:02:18(20345) Dear Steve, At first glance, my impulse is that it might be a seedling of a "Lady Jane"-type Anthurium (A. andreanum X A. lilacianum spelling?).  IF Tom`s Anthuriums are NOT of this ilk, maybe the seed might have fallen into the pot back when the Orchid was at the original nursery?? Let us know!!
