MISTING ORCHIDS. "JUST ADD ICE?". STUPID IDEA! EXOTICSPRAY ORCHIDS If you've seen the Kroger store (or any other store) orchids that tout to just add ice cubes, forget it! That is little more than a sadistic way to kill a beautiful orchid while "donating" your money to the store and the promoter. Phalaenopsis orchids live in a rain forest and ice on the roots will kill your orchid!! XANTHOSOMA SAGITTIFOLIUM (L.) SCHOTT, EXOTIC RAINFORESTANIMALS IN THETROPICAL RAINFOREST
Xanthosoma sagittifolium is an aroid and a member of the Arum family. The Xanthosoma (zan-tho-SOM-a) resembles wild Taro which is an invasive plant in South Florida that is used in many Caribbean nations for food. The leaves of the Malanga can get extremely large, and as a result, makes an impressive tropical plant in a garden landscape. XANTHOSOMAVIOLACEUM SCHOTTM, EXOTIC RAINFOREST RARE There are three different species in this photograph. The plant in this discussion is located to the center right, Xanthosoma violaceum.Although not critical to this discussion, the species at the lower left is Philodendron mamei, and the center left (barely visible) is Philodendron glorisosum.. The genus Xanthosoma is composed of a group of approximately 50 species of tuberous perennials DRYNARIA RIGIDULA BEDDOME, BASKET FERN, EXOTIC RAINFOREST Considered an endangered fern in portions of its native habitat, Drynaria rigidula is commonly known in Australia as the Basket Fern and grows in a large clump. The species has been observed by botanical scientists as an epiphyte (ep-a-FIT) growing on trees, growing terrestrially in soil, and as an epilithic (ep-a-LITH-ic) form growingon stone.
CALADIUM BICOLOR(AITON) VENT., CALADIUM BICOLOR, EXOTIC Both specimens shown were collected in Trinidad and are natural variations of Caladium bicolor.The first is known as "Pigeon's Blood". Caladium bicolor is an aroid that grow from a tuber often incorrectly called a "bulb". A tropical perennial, Caladium sp. have no stems but rather grow their showy matte leaf blades on long petioles that rise directly from the tuber. PHILODENDRON 69686, PHILODENDRON P69686, P69686A, EXOTIC When I first acquired this natural Philodendron hybrid n early 2006 I had been caused to believe P69686 was the same plant as another natural hybrid from French Guiana known as Philodendron Joepii. That incorrect information was due to the fact I had been assured by collectors that Dutch naturalist and conservationist Joep Moonen (pronounced yupe) had discovered P69686 in the jungles of French PHILODENDRON LACERUM, PHILODENDRON LACERUM (JACQ.)

CALCIUM OXALATE CRYSTALS, EXOTIC RAINFOREST RARE TROPICAL In Hawaii, a popular native food is known as Kalo. Kalo is made by cooking a plant known as Colocasia esculenta which you likely know as an "Elephant Ear". And Kalo contains calcium oxalate crystals in amounts strong enough to be painful if eaten raw. But if properly prepared, the plant is delicious. ANTHURIUM FAUSTOMIRANDAE, EXOTIC RAINFOREST RARE TROPICAL Anthurium faustomirandae has been listed as being a member of Anthurium section Calomystium by Dr. Croat and is endemic (exclusively found in) Mexico while Anthurium regale is endemic to Peru. The interesting leaves of A. faustomirandae grow on long petioles but do not have the "velvet to the touch" leaves common to A. regale.The shape of the cordate (heart shaped) leaf is at least somewhat PHILODENDRON RADIATUM, AKA PHILODENDRON BARRYII Philodendron radiatum is found in the Chiapas region of tropical Mexico down through Central America and on into most of the northwestern portion of South America down through Peru. It is also grows in portions of Brazil. According to scientific texts the plant is an epiphyte (ep-a-FIT) growing upon other plants (normally a tree) and is a vigorous climber that can reach a leaf size of up to PHILODENDRON 69686, PHILODENDRON P69686, P69686A, EXOTIC When I first acquired this natural Philodendron hybrid n early 2006 I had been caused to believe P69686 was the same plant as another natural hybrid from French Guiana known as Philodendron Joepii.

Aroids are among the most frequently grown house plants in the world! Aroid is the common name for approximately 3680 species divided into119 genera
all of which are members of the family Araceae. However, that number is a moving target being updated monthly and modern botanists estimate the total number of species is closer to6000.
Aroids include all _Philodendron, Anthurium, Alocasia, Spathiphyllum_ (Peace Lilies),_ Colocasia,_ _ Calla Lily, Amorphophallus, Caladium_ and many other exquisitelyspectacular genera.
The beautiful and often bizarre combination of ornate foliage with the production of an inflorescence known as as a spathe and spadix distinguishes an aroid species. The goal of the IAS is to support the preservation and study of thespecies we
grow but make the information available to any plant enthusiast. For more information please click this link_ J oin the IAS _

AÂ tropical Rain Forestin Arkansas?
In 1974 we made our first trip to an Exotic Rainforest. That one was in Puerto Rico and from that moment I fell in love with the rare exotic plants that live in the rain forests of the world. In 1979 Janice and I took our three children and moved to the island of Jamaica where we lived and worked for almost two years.  To this day we miss all the time we spent roaming around the island as well as its people, food, incredible beaches and rain forests. Following that I fell into a fortunate string of events while working as a photographer/writer for Skin Diver Magazine. SDM allowed me to visit the Indian Ocean, tropical Pacific, parts of Southeast Asia, the Red Sea and opened doors that eventually allowed me to create brochures and ads for hotels and island governments. For many years I was able to travel hundreds of times to islands such as St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the U.S. Virgins Islands, and the Bahamas. I was fortunate to do work for, the Cancun Hotel Association, the Cayman Islands Tourist Association, hotels and properties in South America, Central America as well as other Caribbean governments and hotels. Needless to say, we have tropical "blood" flowing in our veins. The jungles and rain forests of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, S.E. Asia and the tropical Pacific are alive with a varied selection of unusual and often rare plants.  Regrettably, far too many are being destroyed and my grandchildren may never see one. By doing nothing more than logging on to Google Earth you can see vast areas of Brazil that have been almost totally stripped of forest! Fortunately my work as a writer as well as a commercial and underwater photographer took me on journeys to many of these exotic destinations so, at least in my memory, they will live forever. In the years that followed our first rain forest visit I was privileged to make many flights to countries around the world that have living, thriving rain forests. Part of the goal of this site is to introduce you to their natural beauty as well as encourage you to visit, preserve and protect them for your children to see as well. Although I retired in 2001 I've photographed some of the jungles of tropical nations such as Venezuela, Mexico, Belize, Columbia, Honduras, Ecuador, and Malaysia. On my first visit to Singapore in 1986 I was escorted by a representative of the government on a visit to the national orchid collection which houses the world's largest collection of orchid species.  Instantly my interest in these beautiful flowering plants with "tribe" names such as _Oncidium, Dendrobium_ and _Cattleya_ was ignited. Now we have hundreds of orchids from Asia as well as South and Central America and the Caribbean living in our own Exotic Rainforest. Living in Miami, Florida from 1980 to 2001 I had the perfect location to house my collection of plant species. Everything lived in my yard, and my entire ½ acre was landscaped with three tropical ponds with flowering water lilies and hundreds upon hundreds of exotic aroids and other rare plants. So just before 2000 when my wife Janice began to want to move closer to our grandchildren, adult children and her parents after 25 years in Florida I was determined to move the entire collection and make rare tropical plants accessible to folks who have never seen a rain forest.  We now own the only living rain forest in Arkansas and likely in most of the central United States. We've hosted as many as 60 visitors on a single weekend and people are often amazed such exotic plant species live in our artificial rain forest behind our 119 year old home exactly the way they do in nature. I began to draw plans for the Exotic Rainforest years before we moved and told my friend Tom White who owns Zone Ten Nursery south of Miami I was going to build a "rain forest" in Arkansas in 1999. He thoughtI had lost my mind.
I did have reservations about leaving Florida but my only restriction on the move was I would take all my plants!  So now in the tiny rural community of Siloam Springs in Northwest Arkansas right on the border with Oklahoma and not far south of Missouri we own a flourishing rain forest! The Exotic Rainforest is not your typical "tropical plant collection and is not a nursery". We don't sell plants. The Exotic Rainforest is more like a small botanical garden open to the public . One guest called it "Costa Rica under glass". Unlike most plant collections which live in pots our collection resides in an atrium designed to be as close as possible a true rain forest. Just like it rains in any rain forest our plants are watered almost daily via an automatic system. The entire building is designed to duplicate nature as closely as possible and hopefully it gives everyone that enters the feeling of visiting the tropics. Many of our specimens are planted in the ground which was specially prepared to be "tropical"  Our rarest specimens are in large pots with soil prepared to suit each individual specimen. Learn how we built the Exotic Rainforest here. We love to share our plants and gladly answer questions. We welcome anyone who wishes to visit.  We also make the Exotic Rainforest available to educators as a teaching tool and both public, private and home schoolers are welcome to visit the garden as a field trip but due to size we must limit group size to approximately 20 people at one time. Please call before you visit. As of mid 2009 there are many plant species as well as over 300 species of Araceae (uh-RAY-see ee) known as aroids in the collection. Our aroid collection includes a full 10% of all the nearly 2000 _Anthurium_ and _Philodendron_ species known to science.  A number of those were acquired through associations with accredited botanical gardens and we have the exact locations including GPS coordinates where they originated in the rain forests of the world. Having acquired many rare plants we also share specimens not in the collections of some public gardens with those institutions. The collection even includes specimens which have never been identified to science. This site was created to give my adult children Brad, Stephanie and Kari as well as grand children Jeff, Emma, Justin, Sophie, Ellie, Jordan, Hayes and Nash insight as to "what is what" in the collection and where it originated in nature. I purposely designed the site to give them a "note book" along with my photos they can use to learnabout my passion .
I know I won't be here to care for the plants forever so I want the information to survive along with the specimens. Eventually every plant will end up in the collection of a public garden to be enjoyed by all their visitors and it is my hope the information on this site survives along with the plants. I attempt to verify all my facts botanically but I am not a botanist. I'm also certain I make errors so if you find one please drop me a note and I'll research it further. I sometimes get email telling me the name I used or some fact is in error. That's probable since I'm not botanically trained but I always attempt to verify information from a botanical source. Many of our pages are actually proofed by botanists. Hopefully you will find the information ofvalue.
The information on this site would have never been possible without the constant guidance, assistance and input from a large numberof__
botanical scientists and plant experts.  I must thank my mentor world renowned aroid botanist Dr. Thomas B. Croat Ph.D., P.A. Schulze Curator of Botany of the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis who often allows us time in his office and answers an incessant stream of questions. Dr. Croat has personally collected more than 100,000 specimens in the tropics. In addition my thanks to Dr, Simon Mayo of the Royal Botanic Garden Kew in London, Dr. David Scherberich of the Jardin Botanique de la Ville de Lyon, Parc de la Tete d'Or, France, Dr. Eduardo Gonçalveswho is the Curador Botânico of Inhotim in Brazil, Dr. Marcus A. Nadruz Coelho, Diretoria de Pesquisas, Instituto de Pesquisas Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden) in Brazil, Dr. Alistair Hay formerly of the Sydney Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia, aroid botanist Peter C. Boyce of Malaysia, Harry Luther at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL, 2008 International Aroid Society president Denis Rotolante along with his son "Big Bill", 2009 International Aroid Society president Ron Weeks, International Aroid Society founding member Tricia Frank, taxonomist Christopher Rogers, and many others. A special thanks to my close friends and aroid expert Julius Boos in West Palm Beach as well as aroid, palm and cycad expert Leland Miyano in Hawaii. Both are published authors and without Julius' and Leland's assistance many of the pages on this site would not have beencreated.
All of these individuals freely answer my requests for scientifically accurate information as well as photographs. Some even donate their time to proof the information on the site.  With their input and help the Exotic Rainforest website achieved its 1,500,000th hit in mid September, 2010 after just over fourf years on the internet, a goal we never conceived possible when the site went on-line on December 6,2005.
In addition to all the species shown on this site there are well over 100 plant species in the Exotic Rainforest collection not photographed and described. We attempt to add new specimen pages to the sitefrequently.
With the assistance of all the botanists and experts mentioned above I always attempt to verify my facts before putting the pages on the internet. You will normally find the scientific sources credited on the appropriate page but should you find an error please do let usknow.
If you are visiting or live near Northwest Arkansas and love exotic plants as much as we do you are always welcome to visit. There is no charge to see the garden and Wizard the macaw will be glad to see you,and so will we!
By the way, if any of you know Tom and Linda White or visit their Zone Ten Nursery and Garden in Miami will you please pass along this message?  _ "Tom. I built the Exotic Rainforest exactly the way I told you I would. You wouldn't believe what can be done if you set your mind to it!" _ Steve and Janice Lucas Creators and curators of The Exotic Rainforest Siloam Springs, Arkansas _A kind word from radio's Garden Rebel, Robert Vincent Sims_ "As a national garden radio show host I have to research thousands of sites.
