[Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrived

[DAVID LEEDY]

Seed arrived today, May 17th, in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, via the USDA Inspection 
station in Houston, TX.  I also would like to express my gratitude to Eric and 
others (?) for all of the work and to those who donate the seed.  I am hoping 
that next year I will be able to donate as well as receive.

Rather than dwell on the failure of the seed to germinate, I like bask in the 
excitement of those which did.  While I planted around 200 Arum seed and only 
have ten seedlings, I am very excited about each of those ten.  I was a little 
more successful with Arisaema, and very successful with the Pinellia (ternata 
has not yet sprouted).

My question to those living in the northern hemisphere is when do you plant the 
seed?  By now, Spring has about sprung and the really hot days of summer are 
only weeks away (my Arum are dormant, except for the seedlings), only one 
Arisaema has sprouted, and the Pinellia are all sprouted and doing well.

As always, I appreciate any response.
