[Arisaema-l] New to list and group

[Colin Hunt]

I am up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Around 700m above sea level.

We get occasional flurries of snow in Winter but nothing that stays on the
ground.

I would be interested in trading plant material or seed with Australian
growers. 

Hard to do with Tassie though.

Hello All,

It was suggested that an introduction should be made.

I am a poor plant nut to say the least. I Live in Australia and have been
growing one thing or another for most of my life.

I spent several years working in nurseries and ran a landscaping business
for some time.

These days I teach Horticulture for a living.

I have been growing some Arisaema and other aroids for at least six years or
so after a friend gave me some. Most grow quite well for me but some are shy
to flower.

My biggest problem would probably be not having them in the ground. I like
the control pot culture gives but have numbers of some to try in ground now.

Very interested in obtaining more species so have been madly importing seed
from all over.

The seed exchange here looks very interesting, I like the concept of sharing
plants as it has served my friends and I well on several occasions when
there is a loss. We can just give some back.

I will probably be an occasional visitor and reader/poster as there is not
much time for everything these days.

Regards Colin
