Re: [Aroid-l] Sauromatums, hardy and giant

From: Tony Avent tony at plantdelights.com> on 2005.07.07 at 11:10:29(13145) Steve: We grow lots of sauromatum from seed and had the most unusual thing last year...3 dwarf seedlings that looked like crosses with helicodiscerous (sp). I planted one out thinking it would grow out of it, but instead it looks more like a cross this year. I won't know for sure until I see a flower, but this is one strange plant. +More At 10:50 PM 7/6/2005 -0500, you wrote: >Thanks Tony and George for the information on the giant form(s).
