Cross failed

[J.E. Shields]

Hi all,

I tried pollinating Arisaema ringens with a slurry of pollen washed out of
A. triphyllum.  It failed, but using the pollen on another plant of A.
triphyllum did give me some nice fat seeds that are presently starting to
turn red-orange.

A couple more of the ca. 20 small tubers of A. consanguineum are coming
up.  These tubers were grown from seeds from the Alaska Rock Garden Soc.
Yunnan Expedition, ARGS #0535.  I guess they will still have about 60 days
or more of growing weather left.

Does anyone have seedling tubers from any other of the ARGS Arisaema
collections they would like to trade?
