Aroids in Orlando

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1997.02.02 at 16:18:29(275) Aroids in Orlando? Sounds like a B movie made on some backlot. Anyway, I'm on the road again for the last time before spring. I'm in Orlando and had great hopes that a couple of the nurseries I've visited in the past would have some interesting aroids. Instead, I had my choice between petunias and impatiens with a couple plane red hibiscus on the side. Having found Alocasia amazonica at Home Depot on Long Island I had great hopes for Orlando but have been dissappointed. I can't venture too far from the convention center, but... if anyone knows of any place not too far away that would have something more interesting than a petunia, I'd greatly appreciate the information. I'm here till Sunday morning but have a major presentation scheduled for Saturday morning (so time's limited). Les
