Title: Arisaema replacements
Post by: Palustris on July 02, 2009, 08:38:32 AM

Hurrah, our local nursery/garden centre had every Arisaema that we lost over winter, on sale, in flower, at a reasonable price. Guess who bought one of each!

Thats great news Eric. Sounds like they are perfect for photos :)

I discovered that a mystery plant in a deep pot which I bought at a plant sale is an Arisaema.
It has been sitting outside in a sheltered corner for a few years now.
 
It flowered more than a month ago (one single flower) and I didn't take a photo thinking it would grow taller and emerge above the rim of the pot! It didn't  :'(
It grew to only a few inches.
I'll check against photos (and yours) to try and identify the variety from memory.
