I have asked this in the past, but is anybody here currently growing A. =lobatum??
I had two plants form Chen-yi, at different times.   One was "typical" =and grew well until a long wet Spring a few years back when it basically =dissapeared. It is still there, in miniature, so I am hoping it may =regrow although it was accidentally squashed this year.   The other is a =pale form (in the photo album), purchased form Chen Yi as something else =(can't remember what at this time).  Now where I have killed many =Arisaemas or have had them dissapear, this one has come up reliably year =after year (I am afraid to move or disturb it).   I guess A. lobatum =doesn't offset readily, but early on it had split into two.    =So...........these two come up every year, female flowers, and die down =later in the summer.    I tried to pollinate it with both triphyllum and =amurense pollen this Spring.   
Surprisingly it got a few seeds on it this year.    I brought the few =seeds inside.....most turned to mush but one has a root.   I will have =to see what progresses.   Just curious if anyone else was successfully =growing this species.    I will keep you updated on the seedling to =be....
