From: "Planter Rik" planterrik at hotmail.com> on 2003.01.19 at 03:00:07(9854) Stunning -- a crystalinum on steroids. I would also be interested in potential sources and available information on its requirements.

In the recent IAS beauty contest for Anthuriums, this handsome species only received 4% of the vote. We suspect that its rarity in collections is the reason it got so few votes. An online picute of this aroid can be seen at: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~alan/plants/aroids/anthurium/1.html This grand specimen was grown by Dr. Darian of Vista, California. The species is native to Peru and has been collected by Dr. Plowman and Dr. Croat in the past. Its demanding cultural requirements are a testament to Dr. Darian's horticultural achievements. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM: Try the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pageþatures/junkmail
