[Arisaema-l] facing arisaema?

[Erick Adams]

I've often wondered if the way the spathe rotates from year to yearis a function of how the phyllotaxis changes from year to year on the corm.The bud placement rotates a certain degree value, so why not the inflorescence? Then again, considering how many weird non-repeating developmental issuesseem to happen with Arisaema, who can say why an inflorescence faces the way it doesin any given season? Either way, it's fun to ponder. -Erick
