NEWSLETTER VOL. 45 NO. 4

A Quarterly Publication for Members of the International Aroid Society

This issue features Joep Moonen’s journey through Thailand’s vibrant aroid landscape. Beginning at Bangkok’s bustling plant market, Moonen explores stalls brimming with colorful Philodendron, Anthurium, Monstera and innovative hybrids. He then visits private and public gardens—‘The Botanist’, Bankampu and the famed Nong Nooch Resort in Pattaya—where lush displays, cultural art and rare species underscore Southeast Asia’s passion for aroid cultivation. Detailed commentary and vivid photographs capture both horticultural diversity and the welcoming spirit of Thailand’s plant community.
