well, Svanholme

did they flower and in which month, and have they ever set seeds
before their death?

and what about the corms? did they rot or were iced by frost?

and the soil? to which deepness can you find frost ground?

a pity you had so many varieties died, I begin to think  that Arisaema
do like more their original lands, and I wait to see if Spring gives me
back my ones.

best whishes
