Madan Tamang and Chen Yi 99 A-62 & A-82

[P.Bruggeman]

Dear all,

I have 2 questions for you and I hope that any of you can answer them.

The first question I have is about 2 rhizotamous Arisaema species from the
1999-2000 list of Chen Yi: A-62 & A-82. The rhizomes of both were identical
when they arrived and there are reasons to belief that the 2 are forms of
the same species but I would like to know if any of you had ordered them too
and more importantly, did you have any succes with them? I recieved 3 of
each but only 2 (one of each) have survived and put on some growth in the
last month. It looks to be an autumn flowering species but I would like to
know if other AEG-members had more succes with them (or even had some
flowers on them). Any succes, tips, suggestions?

The second question I have is about Madan Tamang. Next month I will go to
Sikkim and shall stay for a couple of days in Darjeeling. I was wondering if
any of you can tell me if Madan Tamang is still in business and if so, could
you send their (postal) adress by e-mail to me so I can visit them?

Thanks,
Pascal
