Lars.  Don't worry about hybridization.  It's not very likely to occur =by accident.  We don't know who the pollinators are ,other than =ourselves.  And not too many bloom at the same time. So even a distance =of 20 feet can make the difference one might need to keep them separate. =Buy the Gusman's book if you don't have it already (2nd ed.)

Dear Arisaema Enthusiasts,

 

I am 47 years, living in the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1990 =I bought my house and started planting Rhododendrons, but a couple of =years later I got children and forgot all about plants and garden. The =garden got into an awful condition, a mess which I have tried to control =the last 3 years, building areas for Rhododendrons. Something was =missing when May was over, it was a little boring, I wanted to find =other plant groups which could flower and bring life to the garden the =remaining year. I started with Orchids i.e. Dacthylorhiza and Orkis and =in general the plant collection grew. One day I saw what turned out to =be Arisaemas on a Danish web site for orchid growers, and I was excited =- They are simply amazing!

Later I found www.gtpoulsen.dk  a fantastic web site for Arisaema =fans. It was not that easy to find the plants in Denmark, but I had the =luck and have recently started my collection with some of the more =common species. I look forward to learn a lot, and have tried to catch =up with a lot of the great articles and comments found on this list.

 

One thing is worrying me, hybridization, how can I prevent that the =different species crosses in my garden?

 

Best wishes
