Re: my new website

From: "Plantsman" plantsman at prodigy.net> on 1999.11.12 at 14:51:18(3822) Nice webpage Brian! Would you please do me a favor and post some pictures of some of your collection. I have an as yet unidentified species that was said to be a native of Vietnam (according to the Vietnamese lady that sold it to me many years ago) and I've not been able to find out any more about it. The leaves aren't huge or hang vertically like the common C. esculentum, but rather are somewhat upfacing on mature leaves up to two feet long and form a cup like shape that fills with water and tips when it rains. The color is more of a very soft pale lime color and they have prominent leaf veins on both the upper and undersides of the leaves. They don't have to be in a swamp to do well even though they only form very small corms and spread by stolons. The best part is that they are quite hardy with a mulch into Zone 6a where I live. If you or anyone else know which one this is, I'd appreciate the information. +More Thanks! David A. Sizemore plantsman@prodigy.net
