Subject: Question about plant i.d.in the conservatory
John,
I’m not sure that we’ve met, though the possibility is there, especially as we’re both members in AERGC. An old directory is how I came up with your email address – I hope that it’s still current.
Yesterday a fellow aroid enthusiast posted the two pictures which I have attached, having recently passed through Madison on stopping in at your conservatory. He was inquiring to the aroid group at large as to whether anyone had any thoughts as to the i.d.
of this Anthurium. To me it resembles a very well grown plant of Anthurium pageanum, except that the fruits should be red, but maybe they’re still in the process of turning. I think that I distributed that species through the AERGC several several years back
now, but wasn’t sure whether it had made it up to Wisconsin or not. I know that I’ve met several Wisconsin AERGC players over the years. At any rate, I was wondering if you had any information on this plant that you could pass along. My thanks in advance.
Good Growing.
Jonathan
