Aroid and Begonia flasks?

From: Ricardo Sander rsander at racsa.co.cr> on 2002.07.01 at 01:03:03(9048) Hi everyone, I am new to this so please be patient with me. I live in a place where probably most of you would love to live - in mountains of Costa Rica - excatly in Monteverde on a small farm surounded by beautiful cloudforest - lots of Orchids and Aroids. So - no matter how hard you try - there is no way to escape the addiction. If anyone wants to know about plants we have around here I am happy to do what I can to get you the info you ask for. As I said - I am new to this - so don't excpect too much. I myself would like to get plants that are hard to find here. So if anyone could help me on where to look for flasks ( maybe the easiest since I have to transport them crossing boarders ) of Aroids and Begonias which are not common in Costa Rica but should do well - I would appreciate it. Saludos de Costa Rica Ricardo

Wow! I've been there -- what part do you live in? I would love to have learned the names of all the aroids there (beyond genus, I mean). Ever go over to the Atlantic side? I noticed that as soon as I crossed the continental devide, the whole aspect of the forest changed, even though many of the same species were present.
