Re: [Aroid-l] Newbie Intro

From: Theodore Held <oppenhauser2001 at gmail.com> on 2011.06.22 at 16:55:25(22137) Welcome to Warren and any others who have been too shy to announce themselves and describe their interests. We are a varied grouping. My interest is in aquatic and wetland species, but I have found the technical resources on this list to be deep and helpful even though my specialty is more limited for mass appeal than, say, Philodendron. That is not to say I have not stumped the list on occasion. There is so much to know and even vastly more that no one knows anything about. Feel free to launch questions. You will be sure (probably) to receive a response, typically one that comes from experience. +More Depending on how mobile you are, please think about attending our annual show in Miami in September (see IAS web site). You will be pleasantly surprised at how freindly and cordial you will find our membership. At the show you also get to meet some of the very best aroid people and plant lovers to be found anywhere. Not to mention a host of rare aroids at reasonable prices that you will NEVER find at the local garden center. Oh, and our keynote speaker this year will be Peter Boyce, a person with absolutely extensive experience tramping through the wilds of southern Asia and an expert in the aroid species to be found there. Again, welcome. And here's hoping you make use of our resources. Ted Held. Detroit.
