The Following plants have grown one new leaf since May when
they arrived at a Miami nursery. Items 1-6 were sent by Joep
Moonen in French Guyana and grown by Denis Rotolante:
ITEM #1
=======
one Philodendron linneae cutting -- vining type with rosette of thick,
linear, spatulate leaves medium green in color. looks like it will make
a nice plant once it grows a few roots.
ITEM #2
=======
one Philodendron Polpoides-- a deeply lobed vining type. Very little
leaf blade between the veins.
ITEM #3
=======
two cuttings Philodendron callosum -- the two cuttings have sprouted and
produced small rosettes of linear dark green leaves. Looks very
interesting. *** to be auctioned as 2 separate plants ***
ITEM #4
=======
three plants (tip cuttings) of Anthurium moonenii-- all have sprouted
one leaf and although the leaf is usually three lobed, one of the three
has only a single middle lobe and no side lobes. This is a new species
to Horticulture and is still quite rare in collections, Dr. Croat just
named it two years ago. I have a large specimen here at the nursery that
is growing on a cypress pole. It appears each of the three lobes
ultimately get about 30 to 40 cm long and about 10-12 cm wide, with a
petiole 60 cm long. I will try and bring that plant to the show even
though it hasn't really gotten to far up the pole yet so that people can
see the mature size of this lovely plant.
*** to be auctioned as 3 separate plants ***
ITEM #5
=======
three cuttings Philodendron billietii long leaf form -- very nice
elongated leaf form of this nice, new species. Each of the three cutting
is a different plant size small medium and large. I guess the high bid
will get the biggest plant of it. *** to be auctioned as 3 separate
plants ***
ITEM #6
=======
one cutting of Phlodendron billietii -- the type form, nice plant, likes
bright light, grows easy.
ITEM #7
=======
Also, two of the highly prized and often sought after seedlings of
Anthurium reflexinervium in 4" pots. These come to us courtesy of the
Harry Luther and Donna Atwood at Marie Selby Gardens. Of the ten seed
they sent me only two germinated (typical for this species), though slow
growing(also typical)these two appear to be as robust as they can be,
they have just been stepped up to the 4" pots two months ago and have
not fully grown in yet. *** to be auctioned as 2 separate plants ***

for $55.00, if the bidding on the floor has been in $5.00 increments. If the
