From: "mjhatfield" mjhatfield at oneota.org> on 2001.06.16 at 19:58:05(6745) Wilbert, Thank you kindly for answering my dormancy question concerning Pycnospatha. All, No one has responded to my question as to when the International Aroid Conference is being held; 2002 as I thought I remembered, or 2005 as someone else suggested? +More I have Lysichiton camtschatcensis seeds coming ripe. Who is the expert on this plant? Who can tell me more about it? I am surprised by how much meat? is around the seeds. Looking at the fruit, I would have thought the seeds wouldn't be ripe for some time yet. But the fruit head break apart easily and the seeds, encased in a gelatinous substance, seem hard and ready. Who wants some? Do I need to keep them moist? It might be a bit before I can send them out since I'm readying for vacation. Should they be stored damp and refrigerated until I can send them out? Should I clean off the gelatinous substance if I am storing them for a while? Thanks. MJ Hatfield
