[Arisaema-l] A. griffithii culture

[robyn82hn at charter.net]

The pots are out in the weather all year round.  I just got back from 
hillside where they live.  BRRR.. This year has really be wet but then 
so was last winter so winter moisture must not be a problem.  A lot of 
the other arisaemas do not like my acid sandy soil up there though.  So 
most are in pots and I do get seed set on the plants in pots.  The other 
plants in woodland do not set many seeds.  And now the deer eat them 
too.  So black thumbs do not help with the dumb deer.
