Forcing is what I have to live with, Paige,  because so far,  none of the
Arisaema I have planted outside have survived my Alaskan winters.  I have
hopes that I will find the magic combination of hardy strain and
microclimate.

In the meanwhile,  I grow all my Arisaemas in pots,  and store them in a
dedicated refrigerator all winter long.  My biggest challenge is that the
machine is one of those self defrosting kinds, so I have to remember to b=e
diligent and water regularly,  or everything dessicates.  When I don't sc=rew
up and over water or underwater,  I always have a jack or two blooming in
February.  Now if I could just get them to bllom at the same time and mak=e
seeds....
