Spathiphyllophilia

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.03.16 at 14:52:01(6046) | | Hi, Debbie, | | Great! Thanks a million. Only a week or so since beginning, I have been +More | enormously impressed by the kindness, vitality, the positivity of Aroid L | humanity. Gardeners seem to have special qualities and the more care plant | kinds need maybe the more caring of Nature people need to be. Anyway March | has been a "Wow" for me and I hope for everyone. | | Debbie, I have the tissue coloured variegate, "Domino" in plenty, but | anything else would be of interest. Species are obviously most important, | but it seems necessary to keep a "library" of cultivars past, present and | future for reference. For example the "true McCoy" has an enormous flower | and I have never found it. Other cultivars seem to keep the heavenly | fragrance of their parentages. Some like some modern roses don't. Maybe | one cannot do better than what Nature does best? | | There is the little one called S. "Cali" which I don't have now though it | may be the same as the so called cultivar called "mini". It is a SPECIES of | floribundum type with a white mid rib, not a variegate but sometimes called | so. Maybe it has been named since the 80's? Maybe I was contributory to | its presence in some horticulture as I got it from Cali in Columbia. There | are also other variegates but I don't know which are stable with whited | leaves that don't go brown when a little spray water lands? It would be | good to know the range of variegated Peace Lilies in current culture. I | have lists of all my 1980's species and a notional list of species and | cultivars noted in the literature if anyone is interested in. Incidentally | for information not of general interest my email is roniles@eircom.net | Maybe it is not good practice to discuss the nitty gritty of costs and | shipping on the net? At any time I will be glad to email lists including | spares to any friends who would like. And when I get my act together more I | will send people new and previous sources of other Aroid and non-Aroid | genera that manifest themselves. Anyway, Debbie and everyone, from the | peaceful waterfront of glorious | West Cork, thanks a million! | | Post script for Dany Hervelle - My email to your address is being rejected | every time. If I don't hear from you I will make it more general and send | it to Aroid L. Give me a little time and I can contact India and other | Sources for you. KSG is both in Bangalore and Madras it seems. | | | Original Message ----- | From: "Debbie Swartz" | To: | Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 1:46 AM | Subject: Steve's email | | | | Ron: | | | | Steve can be reached at sphinkson@worldnet.att.net . GREAT guy, and an | | excellent trader! | | | | If he's out of the variegated spathiphyllum, give me a holler, I've got | | plenty. | | | | Green wishes, | | | | Deb | | | | | **************************************************************************** | | Debbie Swartz (Zone 10 -- Fort Lauderdale) | | Touch of the Tropics -- unusual and exotic tropical plants | | (new Spring items now available, daily updates) | | http://www.touchofthetropics.com | | | | More images at: | | http://photos.yahoo.com/deb2924 | | http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u19342&a#93078 | | | **************************************************************************** | | * | | | | | |
