Orange Candleflower

Dear Aroiders,
I got a Michigan Bulb Company catalog and wondered why they
are still in business. Beside that, they advertised 'Orange
Candleflower" which made me visit their web site.
Hard to tall what the foliage is like, but this is not a
flower of Arum italicum. The seed filled stems in the inset may be,
but what do you think of this mash up ?

Also found on Holand Bulb Farms web site. I'd
laugh if it was really funny. Jim W.

They lie!
And what is more perplexing is that they actually received a favorable rating from Consumer Reports several years ago – based on the receipt of a single healthy Clematis!
I’ve usually depended upon CR for a relative unbiased review of vendors, but in this case, they really screwed up....

What I do not understand, Jim, is how you were able to resist Purple
Love Grass. I did see something which MIGHT give me a reason to grow
Tulips, Variegated Firespray, but it was out of stock.
I wonder what sun in what galaxy yielded up some of these colours.

Jim,
A rather nice colour enhanced Arum dioscoridis
perhaps? Pretty if it were that intense, but
then I reckon they're pretty enough in reality
without the colour enhancement.
Cheers.

And if you visit Breck's website you will see an other picture which looks like the leaves of Zantedeschia albomaculata and the fruit heads of Arum italicum. It is called marketing.
It is very common that the pictures are edited to make the plant more attractive. I think the biggest problems are with the pre-packed bulbs with capper.
And they do forget to tell about the smell of Sauromatum guttatum (Typhonium venosum, or what ever name you like).
