Dear All, There will be another Aroid topic coming still this year that Steve Marak has promised me he will introduce and he's pondering a couple of possibilities. One of them is hardy Aroids besides Arum and Arisaema. So to leave his options open and because it sounds like there would be a lot to discuss on Arisaema I suggest we keep the topic just to that. Thanks to you who have already got us started. Since I know so little about them I have already learned that there may be some for us in moderate climates and some for those in colder climates. Rob Hamilton grows a lot in Tasmania and I know Diana is fond of them so hopefully we will learn about both kinds. Our wiki page features pictures from Rob, Arnold T., Mark McDonough, and Bonaventure Magrys. Bonaventure asked the group if his was really Arisaema wilsonii, but I'm not sure anyone confirmed it. Feel free to expand on this page folks. I have hoped someone would write a little more about some of the background of the plants so people would know about growing conditions. After the few posts so far I think that would be very helpful. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue
