Re: A. wentii, and pothos blooms

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 2000.04.18 at 22:27:33(4393) Dear Pete, Yes, I now recall that the one we collected did not have the var. colored leaves! However, I believe that Epipremnum does flower more commonly than the record indicates, but has to be allowed to grow to adult size first, which may take several years. The ones that I`ve seen in bloom here in W.P.B., Florida have been allowed to grow 'wild' up the trunks of huge native pine trees, where high up the stems seem to grow away from the tree trunk and sort of cascade downwards, and it is near the ends of these falling shoots that I have seen blooms, but have thought how difficult it would be to collect them as they are so high up! I will keep my eyes open for an opportunity to collect a couple IF the opportunity was to present itself in the future. Cheers, Julius +More >Eric Epipremnum aureum very seldom flowers in cultivation. To my knowledge there are four recorded flowerings. Pete ps the giant that Julius and I collected in Monroe's garden was the related Amydrium zippellianum.<
