From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2006.01.15 at 06:32:52(13701) I rest my case. WHO would want to have such bulky, non-flowering plants that never do anything but growing???? Boooooooring!!!!!!!!! Julius, you're a lost case but I forgive you because you also have a few tuberous aroids. But you do well to observe these better and throw away the telescope you need to see a climbing aroid flower every 20th year, some 100 feet above ground level.........heeheehee. +More Lord P. > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com > [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] Namens Julius Boos > Verzonden: zaterdag 14 januari 2006 21:36 > Aan: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > Onderwerp: Re: [Aroid-l] Colletogyne vs. climbers. > > > >From : Peter Boyce > Reply-To : Discussion of aroids > Sent : Friday, January 13, 2006 7:37 AM > To : "Discussion of aroids" > Subject : Re: [Aroid-l] Colletogyne on IAS website > > Dear Peter, Wilbert and Friends-- > > Hey Pete---I agree!
