From Roy Herold:
17. Seed of Arisaema angustatum, 'Best Tophat', ex CPC 10-10-97 collected by
Darrell Probst in Korea. Selected form with up to 70 leaflets per leaf! Very
hardy to at least 25F.
From Jim Waddick:
18. Seed of Lilium rosthornii.
I only had 2 bulbs bloom this spring and two seed pods. The seeds look
small, but I have no comparison as this is the first time this species
bloomed. We discussed this Chinese species that is new to cultivation.
