Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron self-seeding
Julius and other I have been finding a possible pollinator up north for
Alocasias Colocasia and possibly other aroids. It seems the Japanese beetle
maybe making it's way into a few spaths. They seem to eat the inside of the
Spath on most aroids and sometimes fall to the lower chamber were they
pollinate the inflorescence. They ate odd grooves inside the spath and it
seemed all that I have found look to be intoxicated or close to death. The
beetles are covered in pollen and barely move possibly from struggling
inside the spath for hours? I have seen this only a few times this year in
Alocasia Colocasia and Dracunculus vulgaris.
