Re: [Aroid-l] aroid recommendations

From: Don Martinson <LLmen at wi.rr.com> on 2009.01.10 at 22:38:09(18885) Carol, It would be great if you could be fortunate enough to find a source for Anthurium trinerve. While I grew it, it always seems to be in bloom, remained very compact and consistently set the most attractive light purple fruit. Best photo I can find is: http://toptropicals.com/pics/garden/m1/EleNZ2/Anthurium_trinerve1el.jpg This photo does not show the mature purple fruit, but here is one that does: http://home.rr.com/abycats (this is from one of my own plants while I grew it) I would love to find a plant or seed for myself!
