non-aroid: Elegia capensis

From: Piabinha at aol.com on 1999.10.15 at 22:45:57(3756) hi everybody, i just got back from a wonderful week in SF. i saw this plant, family Restionaceae, at a shop. can anyone tell me more about it? is this a good plant to grow? does anyone grow it? i have never heard of this family before. +More at the Orchids in the Park sale, one vendor had several gaudy anthurium cultivars, including a huge Anthurium scherzerianum 'Rotschildianum' sample plant with lots of those huge spathes (white with orange spots) and long curly spadices. there were none for sale because someone got there very early and bought all 40 plants for sale!!!! i ended up buying a red Anth. scherzerianum. tsuh yang chen, nyc
