Re: [Aroid-l] Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

From: Conrad Fleming <conradfleming at yahoo.com> on 2008.12.25 at 01:49:15(18803) Dear Leland, Yes, another year has gone by. I still cling to my hope that eventually, I may connect with someone, whether in Hawaii, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand or wherever, who may have a good collection of habitat-collected forms of Aglaonema. I do believe that there is one or more persons out there with lots of habitat Ags but I must say that that hope, after a year of fruitless trying, is definitely fading. I guess habitat forms of Aglaonema have just quite quickly disappeared from cultivation and it will be impossible to get them propagated and disseminated in cultivation. We'll see. I was reminded of Hawaii when I visited The Huntington in Pasadena, California a few weeks ago to exchange plants and was able to obtain a vigorous seedling of Hibiscus breckenridgei, one of your endemics. If you ever think there is a chance that I can visit you for a few days in this coming year, please let me know. Meanwhile, all the blessing of the Christmas Season and New Year, to you and yours.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Hawaii. The year has flown by and what a wild ride it has been. I hope this note finds all of you and your plants in an Eden of your own creation. I find solace in looking at my plants growing and blooming and we share that in common. I second Julius' motion to dicuss aroid related topics in the coming year. That exercise always smoothes the ride for me.
