Re: [Aroid-l] Zantedeschia

From: Tony Avent tony at plantdelights.com> on 2005.04.08 at 12:06:18(12861) Eric: FYI...I have just returned from an expedition to South Africa and we saw quite a bit of Zantedeschia aethiopica growing in the wild. I had expected to find it growing in bogs, but instead found it in high elevation rock cracks, many of which were quite dry. Occasionally we found it in areas of moist soil, but nothing that would nearly approach boggy conditions. +More At 01:13 PM 4/7/2005 -0700, you wrote: > >We planted several cultivars and hybrids out last >spring here at Leu Gardens in Orlando,FL.
