Ernie,

I was describing my garden last year and tallking about the Narcissus
enmasse (i.e lots of them) and had the same sort of question.  Thanks for
at least letting me know you were joking...... the other one I wasn't sure
about and explained to be on the safe side <grin>

It really is amazing how many of th seedling Arisaemas are shooting now,
well before the adult plants.  Particularly pleasing is a good pot of
Arisaema sikokianum seedlings..... usually the second season I find that
about half of them are gone, but this lot must have had just about every
single one of them survive.  Here's hoping I get some flowers in a few years??

Still drooling over my Arisaema ringens flowering...... hopelessly
addicted!!!!! <big grin>

Cheers.
