[Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrived

[Ken Landis]

Hi DavidOn arrival  (9th may), I soaked the seeds for a day. Then
I drained the water but kept them moist rinsing them in fresh water each day for
4-5 days. I then planted them. Top shelf larger pots on the left in photo. None
have germinated so far.
As of today
the following Arisaema of former years have sprouted.
Arisaema consanguineum
Arisaema dracontium
Arisaema fargesii
Arisaema ovale
Arisaema sikokianum
Arisaema thunbergii
I live in Rome Italy (Zone 9). 
I am far from being an expert so this is just
what I did not any advice. 
Regards
Colin

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.
