Erick:

We did a strange cross of Arisaema heterophyllum x A. fargesii several
years ago and got three interspecific hybrid offspring.  All have
flowered for several years and are perfectly intermediate between the
two parents.  Supposedly this cross shouldn't work, but we're sure that
are plants are never allowed to read scientific journals.
