Arisaema tomentosum

[Adam Fikso]

Well, that's what Pat Taylor said and I differed with her.  So.. I guess
s/he is right. If it's tortuosum, and the curve is hidden becasue of the
angle.  I've not been able to grow it unprotected.  But brought one through
this year at 24" from the house foundation.  The temperature went to zero
for a couple of weeks, we didn't have much snow cover. About 4-6 inches.  It
came through along with A. nepenthoides (first time winter survival)
Eucomis, some small callas, a couple of crinums on the E side of the house
where the area gets morning sun..

If I get more, or from a known higher elevation.  I'll try one further out
from the house. I'm hunting for some with purple spathes but no luck in
finding any so far.  Supposedly they occur.  Maybe I should eMail Pradhan to
ask.
