Re: [Aroid-l] Aroids in the Movies

From: hermine <hermine at endangeredspecies.com> on 2009.02.12 at 17:24:22(19087) I too tend to take note of plants used as back-drops in movies, and amamazed at the Sabal palms in Viet Nam, and all the cultivated palmspecies, vining Monstera and Philodendron, Alocasias and other genera ofaroids, etc. which seem so very common, even feral on all these many filmsets! :--) many of the big movie lots maintain something which looks like aHome Depot plant selection and use it to flesh out a "habitat"without asking anyone if these plants really COULD be there, which causesgreat rage among the plant nuts, i gotta tell you, we are collectively ahot blooded group. There is a nice pot of Sansevierias on a kitchen table in RAGINGBULL. i hope you are allowing for the wonderful California influenced fabricswith the HUGE Monsteras and big inflorescences of aroids all over theplace. it made its way to Brooklyn, WE HAD THIS on our sofas. nothinglike split leaf Monstera draperies to give a home that periodlook. hermine HTML +More --=====================_292610078==.ALT----==============!83493197747543096=
