Hello to all,

I have and A.taiwanenese that has had 2 leaves each
year for the past two. The plant is originally from a
collection of Dan Hinkleys. Nice plant and completely
hardy.
I also have an Arisaema from Chen Yi last year,
A-121,
with two leaves the largest of which has 42 leaflets
all with a silver stripe down the center. I figure it
to be a ciliatum as it has the cilia, and also the
seed head is declining. Worth it for the leaves alone
though no matter the species.
