My experiences with downois

[ruyle]

Sawatdi, Nonn,
Khawp khun khrap, khawp khun makh!

KL, my friend Craig has the seedling growing in his hi-tech CO2 tank.
Looks like we're going to have Downoi in the Northern Alabama area!

Thanks,

Bill

Bill,

You may be grateful, but we Yankees don't understand all that southern talk.

By southern talk, you mean south of Chiang Mai

That Downoi is HUGH !

Nonn,
That Downoi is HUGH [HUGE?] !

That was my impression, too, when I saw the pictures on your web site, Nonn. I read the English articles and it was very informational, I just wish I could read and understand Thailand language so I could read all of it. The pictures was great, who is the photographer(s) on those expeditions?

I saw one picture of guys carrying weapons in one of your expeditions. Was it that dangerous when you and the others embark on those trips? Is there any plan to repeat that expedition in the future, say, perhaps this year?

Thank you for introducing Pogostemon helferi to the world of aquaria, Nonn. Hopefully the Downoi will make a trip to my LFS or local aquarist in Hawaii so everyone will have experience growing or trying to grow that beautiful plant.

I second that thank you Nonn. This plant is precious and one of my favorites. Easy to grow, and it will grow in gh 21 degrees.

Dennis

Just check my last survivor... It is dead.

Oh well, thanks for the effor Loh and especially Nonn!

I wonder what other fishtank treasures will emerge from the unexplored wilds of Thailand?
