If nothing else, please let us know what part of the U.S. or world isyour home.

Thanks to all and please do consider joining your fellow aroiders onSeptember 19 and 20 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, FL! There will be lots of aroids to peruse and take home, greatpresentations, a wonderful tropical garden with a living rain forest toexplore and great food at the Saturday night dinner! Besides, Dr.Croat does great presentations!

Hi Steve
In response to your general request, I live in Rotorua, New Zealand,
have a small mixed collection of aroids (garden and greenhouse) in
an area with a temperate but cool climate (1000 feet ASL.) I don't
belong to the IAS - there are only so many plant societies one can
afford to belong to. Other plant interests include orchids, gesneriads,
hoyas, ferns, begonias, clivias, magnolias etc etc. I enjoy reading the
aroid list, although much of it relates to plants that aren't available
here (we have hyperneurotic biosecurity and plant quarantine
regulations).
Regards
Nick Miller

Brian Williams Louisville KY. I enjoy growing all aroids and have yet to
find one I do not like. I started with aquatic aroids and still find
them fascinating, I then I moved onto Philodendrons and tuber forming
aroids. I find it hard to only enjoy one group. I find them all amazing
to grow.

By the way to those that don't know,Brian is a great aroid grower and sells many, many species andhybrids. You can find his website here: http://www.briansbotanicals.net/index2.html

You'll be hearing more about Brian on this forum shortly! Watch forit. And by the way Brian, I think I'm on the track of one of thePhilodendron without a name you sent last year. We'll talk about itsoon!

I am really enjoying reading all the notes telling us about yourselvesand what you grow. It is my belief we all become better growers whenwe learn to lean on each other. So knowing a bit more about you isgreat! Please keep on responding because I am copying every single oneto take to the show in Miami as a part of my presentation to theboard.

Several have written to me privately and I am making careful notes onall the things you have requested as well as the very few complaints. We want you to love being a part of the IAS so if you don't feelcomfortable posting everything you'd like to say here, send it to me. I'll write back ASAP!

Keep 'em coming!

Dear Steve,

Aloha.

I live in Hawaii.

The IAS can serve me personally by assembling all enthusiasts of Araceae together. I love the scientific inquiry into the Family. We have only scratched the surface and there is so much more to learn. I believe the IAS should continue to publish Aroidiana as a benefit to the membership and that a seed and pollen bank for the continental US be set up. The IAS could keep us informed on conservation issues that impact Araceae. I would like to see more specialist Araceae scientists as well as ecologists, join the IAS. I would also like to see a multitude of amateur enthusiasts join as well as specialist horticulturists. The IAS must provide incentives for both groups as well as common ground to interact.

I have been fortunate to have traveled to Aroid habitats. I live in Hawaii, where the culture of Kalo, or taro, is a main staple for the Hawaiians. I specialize in Philodendron subgenus Meconostigma, but, I love to learn about all aroids. Other genera that I grow include Anthurium, Schismatoglottis, Homalomena, Aglaonema, Colocasia, Alocasia, Amorphophallus, Monstera, etc. I also love to eat the edible aroids and learn about the ethnobotany of these plants. I have no boundaries. The IAS has been a unique and valuable research and entertainment source for me. I have met great friends as a result of the IAS and perhaps that is the best benefit of all.

Aloha,

Leland

Sherry, there are lots of photos onthe IAS site but to find a few you need to know a trick I learned fromAlbert.

Look up A REVISION OF PHILODENDRON SUBGENUS PHILODENDRON (ARACEAE) OFCENTRAL AMERICA

on any search engine. You'll be led directly to the IAS site. Gothrough it page by page (you might learn something new along the way)but you'll often find highlighted links to plant treatments by Dr.Croat. Click on the link and frequently you'll find photos. They areof adult plants but you might find a clue to some of what you areseeking. There is another page link for Anthurium and I'lllook that one up as well.

I use this link almost every single day and have downloaded the entire141 pages to a PDF file so I can search it as needed.

Interested in all genera of Araceae but Philodendrons, Monsteras and Anthur iums are my
favourites. I love other Jungle plants too. I prefer species over cultivars , but they are near
impossible to get them here. A love growing plants from seeds and I have se edlings of some
other exotic plants (Cannonball tree, Eugenias,...).
It might be strange, as is is a very common house plant, but one of my favo urites is
Monstera deliciosa.

Hi,
apparently I missed the "right now" -- Sorry.

I'm from Vienna, Austria.
Enjoing all esspecially Amorphophallus, helicodiceros muscivorus
(allthough I killed all my bulbs *sigh*), symplocarpus foetidus.

Also I messed around with aquatic aroids.

Since I have no garden, limited space and limited time. It's sometimes
quite hard and the reason I lost so many :-(
Best experience until now are seedlings. Next time I should give more
away ...
