Hi Nathan,

I feel it is always good to be excited about plants, but then I am biased.

You are lucky to have the opportunity to buy good sized plants from  a
nursery. In Australia there are very few that even know what Arisaema are
let alone sell any.

The best source of plants for me so far has been through importing seed. I
have had pretty good results in germinating seed so far but others tell me
that I need to get the tubers/corms up over 10mm or so before you can say
that you have had success.

Nice to hear your plants are doing well. I also had a great season this last
year, my A. consanguineum got over 1.2 metres tall and it is only in a pot.

Good luck with your plants and getting seed set.

Regards Colin

Good Morning from Vancouver Canada, actually more specifically Surrey CA.
Zone 7a.
 
Just a quick note to say Hi as a new member.  I have been very interested in
Arisaemas ever since seeing my first species @ Phoenix Perennials last
season (great nursery in Vancouver).  I had been relatively new to gardening
at that point and had no idea such fabulous plants existed.  I bought four
species and this spring both sikokianum and thunbergii ssp urashima are
looking great so far...
 
Needless to say, I have already purchased more species this year in an
attempt to grow my collection and interest those around me (neighbours,
friends).  I am very excited to have found a enthusiast group, as in my
other plant obessions (Brugmansia!) this has been an invaluable source of
information and seeds for the newly enthused.
 
Can't wait to grow some seeds!!  I am happy to trade or swap with any
interested members in Canada.  I will be reading, learning and growing as
hard as possible in Surrey, with the hopes of having some seed to donate in
the future!

Nathan
