Ron - World Spathiphyllum Assemblage
Laura - don't be put off by this naturist on the rampage. 99.9% of the
Western & Eastern World love white perfumed Spathiphyllum & their near
variegated leaved
relatives, Aglaonemas. They are THE House plants of the future & you are in
the forefront of those most discerning
people who are now discovering them. I hope you will join the IAS.

Aglaonemas...very much an overlooked genus in this group, with so many of us
Amorpho-freaks, Anthurium fanciers, and one very vocal Spathi-phile. I love
those aroids you don't see in every shopping mall lobby or doctor's waiting
room (obviously, that lets out P. bipinnatifidum). Aglaonema is a genus I
would love to see in its natural habitat, blooming, with a crowd of
pollinators around. I find I grow fewer and fewer houseplants as the years
go by, because plants inside a house, detached from their ecological niches,
are of less and less interest to me. One day I shall find the wild
Aglaonema....
