Araceae Links

The idea of this page is to gather various links to WWW pages concerned with aroid genera and species. For now, it is in the state of permanent work in progress. Don't get fooled by the animated icon: this is a really slow progress.

Aroid closeups with Kodak DC-120

Starting from June, 1997, most of the photos on these pages were taken with a digital camera DC-120 from Kodak. A summary of the personal experiences with this camera has become a subject of a separate page.
