Hi Eric,

I had a plant of Arisaema saxatile x tortuosum bloom in '07 and it was be=tween the parents. A few seedlings of triphyllum(mother) x nepenthoides p=ollen resembles the pollen parent vegetatively but did not survive an ext=reme winter.

I have a group of seedlings that look like triphyllum but the pollen pare=nt was ringens.

I would pick a just-about-to-open obviously female flower (by that I mean=inflorescence, but easier to type) to be assured it was virgin and not c=ross-pollinated, tear the spadix open a bit, insert the pollen containing=portion of a spadix from a male flower of another species alongside the =stigmatic area of the female flower spadix, tap it around a bit, and encl=ose it in a mesh bag (empty teabag is fine if you can keep it dry) by tyi=ng lightly around the base before resident beetles or bumblebees or whate=ver can get in there.

I read, somewhere, someones description of a consanguineum-tortuosum hybr=id plant observed flowering in nature, but it never produced seed. Credit=anyone?
