Arisaema Nuts:

I've just talked with my friend Carl Schoenfeld, owner of Yucca Do
Nursery in Waller TX.  For the first time this fall, they are selling public
seed subscriptions to their two month seed collecting expedition into Mexico
for this fall.  For those that don't know Yucca Do Nursery, they have
already made over 60 collecting trips into the mountains of Mexico over the
past 15 years, finding and introducing many new species to cultivation.

Carl tells me that many of the arisaemas are flowering now from
prior trips, and by leaf type, flower type, emergence, etc, he indicated to
me that there appears to be possibly 5 distinct species.  He has promised to
take pictures, so that some of our authorities can help in their identification.

For those that subscribe to the expedition ($300) per share, you
will be asked to tell them what seed that you would like for them to
collect.  Arisaemas are just one of many plants that will be available.
Yucca Do can be reached at Rt. 3 Box 104 Hempstead, TX  77445.  Their
phone/fax is 409 826-4580.
