arisaema hybrids

[Tony Avent]

Dear Group:

The first of our hybrids from crosses made in 2000 finally flowered last
week.  It was a wide cross of A. fargesii x heterophyllum.  Of the four
plants from the cross, only one has flowered, but it is perfectly
intermediate between the two parents.  All four have intermediate foliage.
The foliage on the flowering plant is 11" in height.  The spathe is 3"
tall, atop a 5.5" tall flowering stalk (peduncle).  I have good photos, but
have not had time to get them posted yet.  A few of the visitors to the
recent NARGS Convention here were also able to see it in flower.  The only
other hybrid that I have seen was Don Jacobs A. sikokianum x takadae.  Has
anyone else had luck in flowering arisaema hybrids?
