Re: [Aroid-l] Aroid breeding problems

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.01.07 at 10:28:49 Dear Brian=2C I was just kidding---do what makes you happy. =3B Concerning a ''lot of species being 'natural hybrids"=2C I don`t believe that=2C but it will take someone more patient and knowledgable to explain that to you. =3B =3B Maybe next Sept. you and Dr. Croat or John Banta can get into a discussion on that topic. =3B Till then=2C good luck with your work!

I >=3B am guessing I will have to back cross the hybrids back to the this plant >=3B the father. >=3B >=3B Julius as for pure species aren't alot of them just ancient natural >=3B hybrids? I have always loved the true species. The problem is some of >=3B the best forms are hard for me to grow up north. So I am trying to make >=3B them a little faster hardier and tougher. Adding color and other traits >=3B is always a pluse. Don't worry Julius I am not messing with any of your >=3B favorite genus groups (YET!) >=3B >=3B I know this may open a box of worms=2C but I am curious if these plants >=3B are said to evolve from one another then why are these barricades even >=3B present? I can see this being more difficult for other genus but for >=3B different species it seems very odd. You would think more genus crosses >=3B would be more frequent and not as rare as they seem to be as well. Just >=3B my thoughts. >=3B >=3B >=3B >=3B >=3B _______________________________________________ >=3B Aroid-L mailing list >=3B Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com >=3B http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --_054a3516-c1e5-415a-99b7-560f8512c37a_----===============0269361185130515552==
