[pbs] Arum

From: Tony Avent <tony at plantdelights.com> on 2007.05.03 at 12:16:11(15621) Dear Arum Growers: I thought I would copy this post from the Pacific Bulb list about arum...very interesting. +More -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [pbs] Arum Date: Thu, 3 May 2007 13:15:05 +0200 Reply-To: Pacific Bulb Society To: I am a bit late to react on the Arum subject However you will forgive me knowing I was looking for tulips in Kazachstan etc. All Arum italicum, about 10 clones, I have measured the amount of nuclear DNA from are so far, ranging from Greece via Italy and France to Portugal and the Canarian islands are hexaploid. Arum concineum is diploid and Arum maculatum tetraploid as far as I measured them. Peculiar is that two arums from greece, one with whitish veins, the other more spotted but with dark purple stems and flowers flowered fro me in April This seems very early for A italicum I wondering if they might do so the next year. I am still looking for a fresh leaf ( or seeds) of the more rare species to measure... _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/pbs -- Tony Avent Plant Delights Nursery @ Juniper Level Botanic Garden 9241 Sauls Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27603 USA Minimum Winter Temps 0-5 F Maximum Summer Temps 95-105F USDA Hardiness Zone 7b email tony@plantdelights.com website http://www.plantdelights.com phone 919 772-4794 fax 919 772-4752 "I consider every plant hardy until I have killed it myself...at least three times" - Avent _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
