Re: Variegation in Anthuriums ?

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at msn.com> on 2002.02.26 at 21:50:30(8232) Dear Celeste, I was JUST about to reply to my friend Michael Pascall in Australia concerning this 'varegated' Anthurium. I have seen a TRUE varigated bird`s nest-type anthurium grown from seed by Don Bittel, it was entered in the IAS shop in Miami several years ago. I have also seen birds nest Anthuriums and another large leaf hybrid called 'Anth. lazaro' ex-tissue culture with dasheen mosiac virus, the last two were in a Nursery near here in WPB, the same nursery also had Philodendrons with it, and several other aroids all demonstrating the distinctive symptoms. The owner would not get rid of them, he thought them attractive! I`m glad that someone was thinking the same as I was! Cheers Michael! Best Wishes, Julius +More < yesterday if they had a special "variegated" cymbidium. What they had was a cymbidium with a heavy infestation of cymbidium mosaic virus. --Celeste ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list AROID-L" Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 9:33 AM Subject: Variegation in Anthuriums ? > > > How common is variegation in Anthuriums ? > I ask this question as I recently saw the most stunning variegated'birds > nest' . > It was a Anth.cubense , and had grown to a good size. > The same grower also has a variegated form of Anth. crystallinum , that he > claims grows true from seed . > > I have grown thousands of Anth seedlings and still not seen one with > variegation. > > Michael Pascall, > WHYANBEEL ARBORETUM,F.N.Q,AUSTRALIA > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com >
