Danielle,

I'm jealous!!!  Would like MY ringens to multiply like a weed, but it is
still only establishing flowering size and I keep getting paranoid that i=t
has rotted and have to chek to see it is still there.  The triphyllum see=ms
a fair bit happier though and I'm not too worried about it.  Will keep yo=ur
placing in mind as i is the same sort of idea as a friend has suggested f=or
my Fritillaria imperialis (which are notoriously hard to grow here
unfortunately as they keep rotting) which is to plant them amongst the
roots of dwarf rhododendrons which suck the water away from them when
dormant.  I might try to find a similar sort of placement among roots for
the Arisaemas now that you've mentioned it, as I hadn't thought of it.  I='m
glad that you mentioned it... Thanks.

Cheers.
