This is horrible news. I'm so sorry for Jerry and his family. They will be in my prayers over the coming weeks. Brenda was one of the kindest people I'd ever met. She and my wife Miriam really bonded during the 2012 Thailand Biennial.
No idea who he was but just a note on the plant name. There is no blotched AB Cartledge. The blotched one is the only one. The uglier one that's out there is just out of color. In a perfect world, they would all be blotched.
