Thanks, Nova.  Our rains were probably heavier than yours but I haven't
compared. Last month was our wettest February in years.

Adam,

To be honest the heavy rains that we had this summer were very hard on
the plants and an extremely cold winter, so I am not sure what will
have survived. Arisaema triphyllum is prolific here, in all forms, it
grows wild in many areas, including my backyard, to my infinite
delight.

A. Candidissimum, and A. Flavum seem to do quite well also, keeping in
mind that we always have heavy snow cover here in Montreal. (I am not
sure if that is the same for you in Chicago.) I had A. Sikokianum but
they kicked the bucket, as they didn't enjoy the move from the West
Coast. I think it would have been hardy here though.

All the best & good luck :)
Nova
