Odd Zantedeschia

From: Susan B <honeybunny442 at yahoo.com> on 2007.01.05 at 20:35:23(15042) Since a few photos seem to be slipping through, I'l like to show this one of a spined Zantedeschia. It's the second year in a row the tuber has put up leaves like this. Susan +More __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

From: "Agoston Janos" <agoston.janos at citromail.hu> on 2007.01.06 at 09:23:50(15046) Dear Susan. If this plant was in water or a marsh you do not have a big problem. It is an insect who put their eggs in plants. I have met this animal in Hungary, but here the eggs have got a brown coloration. It is called Nepa cinerea, but Ranata linearis has got bigger eggs, and it puts it in the plants like this. These are not pests! They are predator insects, who eat water insects or small fishes. You may try to pull out some eggs, to see if I'm right... +More Those funny horns are the aerating pipes for the eggs. They will disappear, when the larvae come out. all larvae are also predarors as far as I know. So don't afraid, if I'm correct your plant is not in danger...

It's odd that it was only in the 1 variety out of almost 100, and two years in a row.The plant was in a very sandy soil in a farmer's field. It didn't get much water at all.- Dear Susan.

If it not harms the inflorescence and the plant I think you may leave it alone... ----- Original Message ----- +More From: Susan B To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2007 6:08 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Odd Zantedeschia Dear Jani,That's amazing!

From: <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2007.01.10 at 04:25:33(15072) IT's strange. Nepa rybra is a small "insect" (i don't know to name it Crustaceae) which lives in wet places , like ponds. +More Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan B To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2007 6:08 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Odd Zantedeschia Dear Jani,That's amazing!
