Re: [Aroid-l] Visiting Florida

From: Rosalind Gold <rozgold at pacbell.net> on 2018.08.23 at 05:17:31(24012) Jude - According to the announcement for the IAS show, Ree Gardens are listed as "confirmed vendors" for the show. That suggests they are still doing some kind of plant business. I found a thread that's about five years old in palmtalk.org about Ree Gardens that lists the e-mail address of Steve Nock as: snock1@earthlink.net. It's also possible that one of the organizers of the IAS sale might have contact information. If your time permits, after you finish your trip, it would be great to hear about the places you visited that you liked the best, or found the most interesting aroids. I can't make it to the IAS show, but I hope to get to the South Florida area in the next year or so, and I'd love to do the kind of "nursery crawl" you're doing. -Rosalind HTML +More On Wednesday, August 22, 2018 10:00 PM, The Silent Seed wrote: Russ, Somebody in this thread suggested Bernecker's for Aglaonemas. Hope that helps. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob Smoley at which time turned out to be only a few days before his death. I came home with many of his plants, some of which are part of my permanent collection in memory. Ree Gardens / the Nock's - I've read that they no longer have a nursery? But if they do, I'd love to visit, if somebody has some more information about their current status, or possibly even a way to contact them?

I hear Ree Gardens in Miami area is having their big fall sale, I think this weekend. They might have a few uncommon aglaonemas, which I collect. If anyone here has a collection of aglaonemas, please contact me. Particularly interested in the natural hybrids Dr Frank Brown brought back from jungles of Luzon Philippines in the early 1980s.

I have been to Bob's - he unfortunately died - I actually had the fortune to meet him a few days before he died, actually. His wife will be away in September, so unfortunately that won't work for this trip. Somebody did suggest Isaac Farms on another forum, and I will be going there, as I am looking for succulent places as well. Out of Africa is awesome, but they do not accept visitors.
