Re: [aroid-l] Bognera recondita??

From: Mattlagem at aol.com on 2003.07.19 at 02:07:47(10410) Julius, a plain Jane 'type' aroid that resembles a 'dull green Spathiphyllum with a nondescript bloom' can be a beauty in some eyes, right ? ;) An odd monotype that is considered related to Dieffenbachia, found in the remotest parts of Western Amazonia, and reportedly hard to cultivate! Thats just part of the reason why these 'boring' little aroids interest us. I do have a special interest in the Neotropical Aroids though. The S.A Homalomenas and Schismattoglottis Really fascinate me, although most of those are hard to get and grow as well. Alloschemone, should I go any further..? Well I am upset I missed Eduardo's slide lecture last year. I was at the show/sale but couldnt make it to the night's events. I would have killed to see Bognera growing in the wild like that! Plus to hear and see the details of trips to the field... Will Eduardo be at this years show?(I know he wont be speaking, but perhaps just there?) Thanks so much for your advice, Michael Mattlage
