Re: Xanthosoma lindenii

From: "Plantsman" plantsman at prodigy.net> on 2000.07.12 at 03:13:41(5060) Dear Denis, Thanks for writing me about my little find. I paid $9.95 for it. A great price I thought considering it's size and health. The leaves are almost one foot long and in great shape. Thanks again, David +More plantsman@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Xanthosoma lindenii Dear David: You'd be surprised at what goes out as generic tropical foliage to K-Mart and Walmart when nurserymen in Florida get over stocked. Xanthosoma lindenii has been in the foliage plant industry for 20 years from Tissue Culture labs. Although it was reclassified as Caladium lindenii based on Floral Characteristics, old names are hard to change. Xanthosoma Lindenii was the first plant I grew in my nursery when I started in 1981. By the way, how much did you pay for this 3 gallon pot of "Tropical Foliage" at K-Mart? Denis at Silver Krome Gardens
