sorry about unfriendly mail address

From: "Kathy Kempf" wont_read101 at hotmail.com> on 2002.04.22 at 21:31:07(8605) Dear all, I am happy I found your group. Sorry about my unfriendly address; I am a programmer who gets an unbelievable amount of junk mail; this is the one I use until I find out whether joining an organization will get me huge amounts of unwanted spam. My name is Kathy Kempf, and I live in central Ohio, Zone 6, USA. I replied to a few messages I read before writing this, so I guess some people have already found out I have a great sense of humor. I loved the thread about stones. I sent part of it on to others who will also get a kick out of it. I started growing aroids (other than Jack-in-the-Pulpit) a couple of years ago; found them to be fascinating, and want to find out a lot more before I invest a lot of time and sweat into getting new ones. As I responded to someone's letter, I was pleasantly shocked to find mine was hardy here; I don't have much room to store (more) tropicals. I am disabled (crippled); plants that take a whole lot of nurturing are allowed to die, sometimes a slow lingering death, other times a swift one with my trowel. Enough about me. I can't wait to learn more!

I have collected aroids (mostly epiphytic ones) for about five years. This is a great list with great people. Luckily most aroids are not very hard to grow.
