A. rhizomatum

[Diana Nicholls]

The Arisaema rhizomatum was so slimy when it arrived, I asked Jan if she
thought it had cold damage ie. frozen.   She replyed that Kaichen said
that was normal.    I decided that the best way to deal with the rotting
part was to see if I could force it into growing so it was one that I
potted and put in the basement under lights.   It did not take long to
start growing.   It bloomed and I have  a seed pod or at least had last I
looked.  Critters and "things" are active in the garden.    I planted it
in the garden some weeks ago.   I found it rather interesting and also
wondered about the hardiness as would not like to lose it and the
reported elevation was quite low.
