Re: [Aroid-l] Aroid id please?

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.11.20 at 13:02:18 Dear Steve=2C At first glance=2C my impulse is that it might be a seedling of a "Lady Jane"-type Anthurium (A. andreanum X A. lilacianum spelling?). =3B IF Tom`s Anthuriums are NOT of this ilk=2C maybe the seed might have fallen into the pot back when the Orchid was at the original nursery?? Let us know!!

When the orchid had gone on to the >=3B great compost heap of eternity and I was about to throw the pot out=2C I >=3B noticed signs of life - whatever this is. As to size=2C the pot is about 10 >=3B cm square=2C and the inflorescence perhaps 2 cm long. >=3B >=3B Other clues: for a time this pot did live in a sun room near a couple of >=3B anthuriums (obtained from Tom Croat about 20 years ago). They do flower >=3B and fruit and it is possible that a seed fell into this pot=2C although >=3B neither of them ever flowered until much=2C MUCH larger than this plant >=3B (leaves in the one meter size range)=2C and the infloresences don't resemble >=3B this in shape or color. (I'll withold the name of those plants for now - >=3B both the same species - so as not to influence anyone's thoughts.) >=3B >=3B Thanks=2C >=3B >=3B Steve >=3B >=3B -- Steve Marak >=3B -- samarak@gizmoworks.com --_5a951d27-acfd-4b2c-b7c7-6c945d23cb2d_----===============8253097960612201305==
