Spaths in the garden - update

From: magrysbo at shu.edu on 2001.09.25 at 20:57:23(7545) Looking back in my archived messages, I've decided to update this one. 7 nice clumps of small (~6" high) spathiphyllum have filled out nicely - no more bloom since early summer. The vegetative growth is great, in various degrees of amendment to my sandy soil. All are getting more and more sunlight as the suns rays angle in to the garden further with the passing season. Nights now are occasionally in the 50's (F). The yautia in my sunny front yard is huge! 2' satiny leaves just clearing the ground on thick steroid-pumped appearing stems. I've got to find that damned roll of film to be developed! I fear, as the Mazatecs who will not plant ska Maria Pastora around their abodes, that it will grow up and envelop my house! +More Bonaventure ---------------------- Forwarded by Bonaventure W Magrys/ADM/SHU on 09/24/2001 05:17 PM --------------------------- Bonaventure W Magrys 05/22/2001 03:04 PM To: aroid-l@mobot.org cc: Subject: Spaths in the garden (Document link: Bonaventure W Magrys) I recently picked up an inexpensive 4" pot of Spathiphyllum at the local mega-hardware store. Its full of growths and just as last year they will be planted around in woodland gardens where they continue to grow until frost. Bonaventure W.

The name I have for it in Cen. America is 'ki-ques-kay'. Sincerely, Julius +More >>The yautia in my sunny front yard is huge! 2' satiny leaves just clearing the ground on thick steroid-pumped appearing stems.
