Re: Anthurium in St Vincent, Caribbean?

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.07.10 at 00:04:43(7001) Hi,Geoff, I am not surprised that the Spathe was shrivelled. After all that Amorpho stuff I'm surprised that you have much of a spadix at all. You aren't going to sow the devil berries are you? Perhaps someone who knows will tell Geoffrey what Vincent was canonised for....? I would be a bit more careful wot you keep in your apartment (flat to British) especially with your earlier mite omens. Bless You! Brother Ron +More PS Would Peace Lilies be better for your flat? ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list AROID-L" Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 3:27 PM Subject: Anthurium in St Vincent, Caribbean? | Hi All, | Can someone tell me if there are any species of Anthurium commonly found in | the Caribbean, in particular St Vincent? I recently was given seed of a plant | labelled simply Anthurium "St Vincent", referring I assume to the collection | locality. The plant had large leaves the size and shape of A. andreanum but | the spathe was small and shrivelled while the spadix was about 8-10ins long | with hundreds of small red berries. Not much of a description I know and I | will try to get a photograph soon. The plant may of course have been | introduced there in cultivation but if there are any naturally occuring | species there I would be grateful if anyone (Tom?) could give me some | pointers. | | Many thanks, | Geoffrey Kibby | London |
