[Arisaema-l] Arisaemas in growth now

Sun Apr 8 19:56:11 CEST 2012

Arisaema negishii has been up and blooming for several weeks. It is always very early and not damaged by frost, very strange as my plants are from a place with little frost. They have thrived for many years. They always bloom and I have volunteer seedlings. Despite the very mild winter and early spring I don't see any other species up yet.

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.

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.
