No Spaths here

From: Susan Cooper coops at execpc.com> on 2001.05.31 at 03:19:36(6633) Nope, no Spaths. And only a few Arisaema, Alocasia (barely alive), Dracontium & Anchomanes. Many unknowns. Many peanuts in my planters from those dang squirrels! +More Mostly Amorphophallus, the finest, best looking, most intelligent, and best driver of any plants I know! (oops, got carried away there). No Anthuriums, either (shhh about that, I might get booted out of the IAS) Yes, I am an odd one! Maybe I should start an Aroid advice column. Lord P could help! If anyone has any Aroid questions, my advice is: dump it out and get some Amorphophallus! heeeheeee(And lets not go down that road again- what is the plural of Amorpho?!) Seriously, just because I only have my favorites doesn't mean I can't admire the other, (lesser) Aroids. And I'm sure we're all like that. Aroids are fascinating in their diversity!

Ron , we do not have very many different Spaths here , and the ones we do have do not like this dry season . Not one drop of rain all month !!

From: "Cooper, Susan L." SLCooper at scj.com> on 2001.06.01 at 00:00:27(6652) Not all my plants went dormant. And during the winter I stare at the tubers, and rearrange them, and... ooh, I need to get a life. I also have carnivorous, clivia, aristolchia, cactus, brugmansia, soon worsleya, and others to try and keep alive in winter. That Michael. Either he is drowning in rain or in a drought. Ron, if I EVER come across a spath, it will be on it's way to the auld land! And maybe have a few tubers hidden in the soil, kyuck, yuck. So what are the rules on sending plants to Ireland? Do I need a phytosanitary certificate? I've never gotten one, wouldn't know how, although I know it is in the archives of Aroid-L Susan

From: Piabinha at aol.com on 2001.06.01 at 03:32:44(6657) well, as if this discussion hadn't deteriorated into OT long ago... so i'm finally labelling it so... susan, where did you get your Worsleya? tsuh yang chen, nyc, USA http://groups.yahoo.com/group/orchidspecies

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.06.13 at 15:01:43(6702) Thank you Susan! If you should get ANY unusual Spaths, please let me know as kindest friends in the Americas are acting as "centralising points" so that now & again a decent parcel of plants can be sent with a phyto in one air parcel to Ireland. I am trying to get an "open permit" to allow all plants WITH phyto certs in automatically, and SOME without to be inspected on site at intervals as I did in UK. I will know in July! You are kind Thank You!
