Re: Suran in Australia

From: Paul Tyerman ptyerman at ozemail.com.au> on 2002.04.27 at 04:31:14(8659) Howdy All, I've been wandering around the local Asian Grocery Stores (which stock Indian groceries as well) and all I get is a rather blank look when I ask about Suran. None have ever heard of it. Does anyone know if this is sold here in Australia? It just may not be here at all which is why they haven't heard of it.... or does anyone know if it has a different name. I would rather like to get Amorph paeonifolius as I don't have it. I had two little offsets given to me last winter but they rotted out before they got a chance to grow (I think that sometimes the littlest ones have the bigger problems, at least in my garden I have found that).... so I would love to get some more. Hopefully someone can tell me whether Suran is in Australia, and/or whether it is sold under other names. Any other interesting Aroids sold in Australia for food purposes? Cheers.
