Re: [aroid-l] Bognera recondita

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2002.11.21 at 07:17:56(9624) Dear Michael, As far as I know, I am the only one in whole world growing Bognera recondita. It is extremely difficult to grow, and only produces up to 3 leaves per year. I brought back probably 20 rhizomes from the field (it is quite abundant locally), but less than 8 are still alive and growing right now. It goes well with a mixture of coarse sand, sphagnum and humus rich soil. Unfortunately it is impossible (better to say, it is illegal) to send plants out of Brazil, so I can?t be considered a potential source. Very best wishes, Eduardo. Eduardo G.

I also wanted to add the Anchomanes dalzielii seeds I recieved a couple of months back have germinated (at least one so far). Thanks again Wilbert!
