Dear Leyland and Monstera friends, Aloha. Great idea, as collectively we certainly have compiled a bunch of fantastic info. from all or many corners! It would be great to have it all on one page or in one site! Maybe Steve Lucas` site?? Aloha, Julius +More >>> Dear Monstera aficionados, > > Aloha. > > You'd think that a species so ubiquitous as Monstera deliciosa would be extremely well known and documented. It seems we are slowly teasing out this information from the archives of dust. Is there somewhere this information can be posted on the IAS website once we collectively untangle this? Steve Lucas can add some of this to his article on Monstera deliciosa...but there should be some easily posted text on the species gallery? > > Thoughts to ponder, but this discussion has been educational and enjoyable....time well spent. > > Aloha, > > Leland > > > --- On Mon, 7/7/08, ju-bo at msn.com wrote: > > > From: ju-bo at msn.com > > Subject: [Aroid-l] Mosterar deliciosa--info. on different clones. > > To: "Discussion of aroids" > > Date: Monday, July 7, 2008, 12:07 AM > > ---------------------------------------- > > > Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2008 19:12:03 -0700 > > > From: lbmkjm at yahoo.com > > > To: aroid-l at gizmoworks.com > > > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Mosterar deliciosa > > > > > > > > Dear Jason, Leyland and all Aroidophiles, > > > > Aloha. > > Vol 1 no. 1 also gave up another titbit of great > > information, as in his profile of Monstera deliciosa > > Madison states that "Several of the wild clones which > > are not widely grown are dwarf forms, achieving olny one > > third the size of the common ones."
