& similar emotive words!!).
THANK YOU! I am very humbled that my
long searches for Spathiphyllum and Marantaceae into the 80's did some good and
it is nice to be remembered for it. The original collection of
10,000 plants in Meopham England was passed to ANMORE EXOTICS over a decade ago
but far from keeping it safe they went defunct after paying me very very little
for the results (.10,000 plants) of years of work. It may be that
the species were passed on to a third party and if so the Collection may be
virtually intact. I sent duplicate plants all over the world but now
with email it is very fast to trace material.
I am privileged to have this mighty
bungalow with a magnificent Classical Music Studio on the prime waterfront of
Dunmannus Bay, West Cork Ireland with the main Durrus Beach in front, no other
residence. I develop the nuclear Collection on this site
this Year and then we will see where and what misguided laser
energies produce. Please, what is Tom's email
address? I wonder if he can lead me to nuclei of species.
My address is Studio Na Farraige (Studio of the Sea), Murreagh, Durrus,
Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland 003532761040. What does Plant Delights
grow? What role do you have in the scheme of thingsYou have humbled me
with your appreciation by writing. Thank You! Have a
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONDERFUL March and on. If you know Spath
Sources, can you spare the time, no hurry as 80 plants have arrived before time
in the past two weeks, and I have yet to finalise culture set ups which have to
be immaculate.
