I am not sure if many of you know this but their is a aroid society. The society is amazing with tons of great collectors and botanist who have over the years kept this group going. Each year they have a show which they show new plants have contest and yes sell plants to the public. I would say anyone who loves aroids should look it up. I plan to be their this year again as I have for the past 4 years. Hopefully I can see some of you their?
Here is a picture of just one of the many booths at the show. Guest speaks are in from all over the world and some very famous botanist and breeders are walking around in the crowds.
