[Arisaema-l] A. lobatum, Arisaemas in New Jersey

[Christopher Gussman]

Anyone growing A. lobatum?  I think I asked that in past years.  I have a pale form from Chen Yi (bought as something else) that has persisted but not yet set seed.  I am very afraid of losing it but it has come up for many many years.  It did split into 2 and I think this year a 3rd is emerging.  

I have another normal form of A. lobatum that came up a few years.  Then one wet Spring it collapsed.  The following year the tiniest leaf or two emerged.  Now I think it is large enough to maybe bloom again this year too.   Seems like this species has done well, I don't' think it normally offsets though ??     I noticed Plant Delights has it listed in their catalog this year.

  I have 2 sazensoo in bloom, out of three bought from the UC Botanic Garden 
  in Berkeley a couple years ago.  I fear the third has died.   Sazensoo is 
  hardy hear but short-lived.

  Also have a large ringens in bloom, and it appears to be offsetting.  This 
  is also from UC Bot Gdn Berkeley.  Ringens is hardy here and longer-lived 
  than sazensoo, but this is my second attempt at ringens.

  I've been gone the past week, and haven't looks to see if anything else is 
  alive.
