Petra.  Very impressive!. I assume that these were selected (preferred an=d
representative forms).   I'm wondering if this lab sends back clones big
enough to flower., routinely.



Question:   .  Do arisaemas come up as late as right now for anyone?  My =A.
ringens came up last week with one leaf .  (should I continue to wait for
other stuff (some Chen Yi, some Hornig, some Heronswood) or look undergro=und
to see what's going on.?
