cyrtosperma and Urospatha

From: Scott Radford <s.rad4d at ymail.com> on 2010.04.18 at 18:29:56(20866) I would be really grateful for any help on obtaining the Cyrtosperma genus to add to my collection. I realise they will possibly be able to go outdoors here in only the peak of summer but Cyrtosperma chamissonis (the giant swamp taro) is quite simply a breathtaking plant for any water garden - yet all I can find are pictures of them on a farm in the far east and wish I had that plant!!Cyrtosperma johnstonii and C. merkusii seem to be more commercially available and I have found them on a thai nursery site that could possibly export those plants to me here - but so far I have been unable to get any joy from them. Also I am intrested in Urospatha, having come across it on this site - U.grandis and U.sagittifolia It is totally impossible to obtain these plants from anywhere in the UK, so does any of my fellow aroid enthusiasts on this site know of anyone or anywhere that would be able to send me seeds/rhizomes of any of these plants so as I am able to minimise the cost to get them to me in the UK? any help would be greatly appreciated +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
