[Aroid-l] Anthurium seeds

From: agavestar at covad.net (Michael Mahan) on 2007.10.22 at 20:35:48(16576) Some of those are nice hybrids the sci-fi stuff you talk about .. I don't think that is a scam but I've been wrong before ... like orchid hybrids they are a dime a dozen these days . You'll see them soon at your Local Safeway !! +More -----Original Message----- From: aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of hermine Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2007 11:18 AM To: Discussion of aroids; aroid-l at gizmoworks.com Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium seeds > >Actually the complaint phone number to Ebay is (866)515-3229.....

Because I am the Sansevieria Cultivar Name Police, I often write to sellers to tell them, if i know it, what I think is the real name of their plants. So far this has not resulted in any death threats, for which I am thankful, and it may have resulted in one or two people taking off a bad name. my contribution to taxonomy is the REMOVAL of names, rather than the bestowing of names. I did look up Anthurium yesterday and saw photos of inflorescences which i have never seen the like in any plant in the real world. sci fi colours. hermine _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L at www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
