ARISAEMA-

[Adam Fikso]

Hello Carolyn.  You just told us how you move tubers   with the dirt and
compost from here to there.  I don't do that, .  At this point, I'm
beginning to suspect chipmunks, which dig all over, and often dig above and
near a tuber I've planted--in some cases, probably putting the tuber at
risk.

But there's still this problem:   If they move the seeds, and the seeds
germinate after being moved--  how come I don't see the seedlings before
they grow to be 8-12 inches tall and blooming in a place where  I would
notice anything unusual. Adam
