Hello Ron...I worked with your lovely Spaths way
back when in my early years at MOBOT...it's always so nice to connect a person
to the plant...and I know I took photos, made herbarium vouchers, etc. of those
Spaths and you can email Tom Croat (hi Tom) if you want more info on
them...welcome back to aroids.

Hi, Petra!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY!
(Petra is a beautiful name like Anastasia
| +More |
& similar emotive words!!).
THANK YOU! I am very humbled that my
long searches for Spathiphyllum and Marantaceae into the 80's did some good and
it is nice to be remembered for it. The original collection of
10,000 plants in Meopham England was passed to ANMORE EXOTICS over a decade ago
but far from keeping it safe they went defunct after paying me very very little
for the results (.10,000 plants) of years of work. It may be that
the species were passed on to a third party and if so the Collection may be
virtually intact. I sent duplicate plants all over the world but now
with email it is very fast to trace material.
I am privileged to have this mighty
bungalow with a magnificent Classical Music Studio on the prime waterfront of
Dunmannus Bay, West Cork Ireland with the main Durrus Beach in front, no other
residence. I develop the nuclear Collection on this site
this Year and then we will see where and what misguided laser
energies produce. Please, what is Tom's email
address? I wonder if he can lead me to nuclei of species.
My address is Studio Na Farraige (Studio of the Sea), Murreagh, Durrus,
Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland 003532761040. What does Plant Delights
grow? What role do you have in the scheme of thingsYou have humbled me
with your appreciation by writing. Thank You! Have a
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONDERFUL March and on. If you know Spath
Sources, can you spare the time, no hurry as 80 plants have arrived before time
in the past two weeks, and I have yet to finalise culture set ups which have to
be immaculate.

Hi
there Ron,
Don't
know if it might help but some years ago now, Barry Findon of Anmore Exotics set
up Wyld Court Rainforest in Hampstead Norreys, near Newbury, in Berkshire,
England. I haven't been for ages but I believe it still operates very
successfully as a commercial/educational tourist attraction with large,
well-landscaped glasshouses stuffed full of magnificent aroids (and other
things, including breeding groups of rare marmosets). I have rather lost touch
with him so all I have is the tel. no: 01635 200221, though I'm sure by now
the place has a website, email etc.
I can
imagine how awful it is to lose such a collection and hope you can manage to
track some or all of the plants.

Hi Deni!
Thanks a million for the
information. Lots of Aroid L members have so kindly written in the past 24
hours. Amazing and wonderfully. We are a very fortunate and caring
group. I am contacting Wyld Court to find out about these things and
I do so very much that the Collection is still intact and named. It would
be a priceless resource for everyone and make my task of establishing an even
more complete Collection much easier. I will write again in
due course. Can we exchange other contacts on the Spaths I need and the
genera you seek?
With very best
wishes
Ron

The tel# you gave me is no longer
available and I do not know where Barry Findon is still. I hope that
Wyld Court can help with everything now.
