Inside of a blooming Arisaema amurense I found common gnats (Culex pipiens), here's a link to the photo. http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/arisaema/20060515arisaemaamurense.jpg Marek Argent +More ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taylor Holzer" To: Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 3:30 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] pistia pollination weevils? on this website it says weevils pollinate pistia http://www.aroid.org/pollination/gibernau/pollinators/index.php are there aquatic weevils? is there anybody out there willing to give up an offset of a pistia to me? _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

The web page you mentioned is in fact a review of what is said in the literature, not what has been proofed. If I have some time, I'll one day tackle this question....

Ask again about someone shipping you a Pistia plant in Spring, NOTHING will survive being posted up North to you in this cold!
