From: "Petra Schmidt" petra at plantdelights.com> on 2003.12.15 at 12:26:28(10921) FYI - the following did not survive Zone 7b, unfortunately: Typhonium horsfieldii, kumingense, pedunculatum, adnatum, varians, and violifolium. +More T. giganteum and T. divaricatum, hardy here in North Carolina, consistently emerging in mid-June, and both species bloom and perform very well. We'll test a few other species and keep you al posted...Petra ----- Original Message ----- To: Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 6:08 PM Subject: Re: [aroid-l] pics for Saturday > David, > I have not been brave enough to try any outside yet, so I can't say if any > are cold hardy at all.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid (prive)" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2003.12.15 at 16:21:59(10922) Petra, The name T. divaricatum is long obsolete. What species do you have under that name? It is often a mistaken name for either T. blumei, T. roxburghii (neither hardy, I suppose) or T. diversifolium (hardy probably).
