On a dry, north-facing block, I don’t have much shade. Some years ago I purchased – at hideous expense – a tuber of Arisæma sikkokianum, which has flowered annually ever since, to my great gratification and the amazement of the lucky few who have been privileged to see it. It has not increased at all. A few months ago – autumn, here – I purchased seed of a few other species and planted it immediately: germination was good. Now, in the middle of our winter, very few of these are still above ground, but I think that some tiny tubers have entered dormancy and still survive: I wonder if the few that have not entered dormancy will keep growing until the summer heat stops them? We shall see …

I have a reasonable collection of Arum species, so if you're wanting to increase your collection of those I can definitely help, along with a bunch of other aroids as well.  There's definitely a few Arisaema I can share as well.  Have you seen Dracunculus canariensis?  I'm hoping by the size mine may flower again this year.  It tends to flower every year or two for me rather than yearly.

I hope everyone is well, and that the wet UK-ers haven't all drowned, and that the horrendous drought in the US hasn't wiped out too many gardeners either.
