Don: WOW-you must get some reaction when people see your garden with all those sikokianums in bloom. Just my two get a reaction from people unfamiliar with Japanese arisaemas (almost everybody).  Well, I say having too many A. sikokianum in your garden is like having too much money- NO SUCH THING!

It's always interesting how certain plants like certain gardens for inexplicable reasons; the climate in my eastern Iowa garden is not exactly Japan, but A. sikokianum grows like crazy here; I wouldn't be exaggerating (too) much by saying it has designs on taking over the garden. From the seed from two original tubers, there are now probably fifty adult plants, some quite massive, and I probably have two-three hundred seedlings. On the other hand, I can't grow an ordinary columbine to save my soul.

Jim: Your very attractive hybrid flower looks a lot like my sikokianum flower. And most people agree it is the most attractive flower of any arisaema. Can't disagree with that. 
 
SIkokianum does OK for me here in north Georgia- do you think it is the warmer weather that it likes down south? But you may be at lower elevation. (Certainly has nothing to do with the gardener!)

Attached is another sikokianum hybrid, probably with A. takedae and/or limbatum. Don Jacobs sold a similar cross back in the old days, and Roy Herold also did one. I'm not sure which source this came from, but it's done very well here and has seeded around the property. This, in a place where sikokianum never has survived! There are less colorful forms in the seedlings, but they all seem to like it here (Zone 7a).

               Note: In 2007 I managed to pollinate my last living  A. engleri with A. sikokianum pollen before it expired. The following year only 13 seedlings emerged.  As of this year (2012) only 3 of these F1 plants are left and the largest has finally bloomed.
