Arisaema

From: Duncan McAlpine <mcalpin at eskimo.com> on 1996.12.29 at 01:54:08(20) For you hungry Arisaema collectors, Heronswood Nursery has released the following 1997 species: Arisaema aff. griffithii HWJCM 147 A. amurense A. angustatum var.penin f. varieg DJH 171 A. angustatum Var. Peninsulae DJH 192 A. consanguineum A. draconitium A. erubescens A. flavum A. franchetianum A. heterophyllum A. jacquemontii A. nepenthoides A. ringens BSWJ 1522 A. sazensoo A. speciosum A. taiwanensis - grey leaf A. taiwanensis BSWJ 1879 A tortuosum - blackstem form A. tortuosum HWJCM 561 A. triphyllum A. aff. verrucosum HWJCM 161 Well that is it and my check book is going to be a little bit emptier this year.. Don’t tell my wife... I have noticed that GardenNet has Heronswood on their homepage catalog listing for downloading. For some reason it will not work for me and I assume I have all the correct plugins and gizmo’s. I hate when a Nursery pay’s money to a service a= nd it does not work for a customer. If Dan has the time, I will teach him how to do this or one of his staff to put his catalog on the internet. Heronswood address is located at GardenNet or on my main homepage. THe catalog is $4.00 USD and is worth every penny. IT IS THICK and full of plants. -- Duncan McAlpine +More Federal Way, WA USA Why buy plants when you can grow them yourself.....? http://www.eskimo.com/~mcalpin/ http://www.eskimo.com/~mcalpin/pumkin.html http://www.eskimo.com/~mcalpin/aps.html http://www.eskimo.com/~mcalpin/soc.html

From: david at victor.u-net.com (DX Victor) on 1997.01.23 at 18:26:40(223) Jim Archibald's new (January 97) catalogue arrived today. It includes a number of Arisaema, some of interest. Two from Needham collections (consanguineum from EN2459 Yunnan and exappendiculatum EN ? green form from Nepal). Most interesting to me is A. yamatense var sugimotoi from Honshu, collected by Don Elick 1996. The latter costs $9 for 8 seeds. He can be contacted at Bryn Collen, Ffostrasol, Llandysul, Dyfed, SA44 5SB. If you have not come across it before, that really is how the words are spelt: It's just Welsh!

I can highly recommend Archibalds seed, it's very clean germinates well, better still is almost always true to name: also a bit $$ but you get what you pay for, and they're quality and selection is worth it.

From: david at victor.u-net.com (DX Victor) on 1997.02.10 at 01:40:22(316) Hi there UK Arisaema lovers. I just received Crug Nursery's new catalogue and it contains a wealth of Arisaema. In total, it contains some 45 entries, including a wide range of Bleddyn's own collections from Korea/Taiwan. In addition, it includes a number of Japanese entries which he is importing. The downside is that he does not do mail order under any circumstances, so you must travel to the Menai Straits to get the plants. Sorry to you guys elsewhere in the world, but many nurseries here are not keen on the cost and difficulty in handling mail order.

However, don't forget that any enthusiast in the UK can travel the length and breadth in a day or so, and many do so. For this nursery's plants, I would be willing to travel far and wide. There are so many new plants from so many interesting places that they have collected, its mind blowing.

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1997.02.22 at 04:55:59(415) The IAS has received a request and I trust that some of our participants can help... Mr Erich Pohle, Otto Hurrass Strasse 25, D-01979, Lauchhammer - Mitte, Germany is looking to purchase 2 to 8 tubers of Arisaema elephas. Is this a good name? Would someone contact him and see if they can help? I would appreciate it if you would cc to me. I will forward any information to Mr. Pohle that is pertinent. Unfortunately, he does not list an e-mail address. Thank you, Dewey +More Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE

From: "Giuseppe Orlando" gius_orlando at terra.es> on 2000.12.25 at 19:19:37(5796) Hello all, I am new to the list (and to Aroids), and I am interested in genera characterized by succulence and tubers. I am just back from a trip to Yemen where I found an Arisaema that I wasn't able to classify, on the top of Jebel Sumarah, but had already shed its leaves (no rests). The inflorescence stalk was about 30 cm or a little more, bearing some 100 orange-red fruits. In the literature I found that species growing in Yemen are A. flavum, A. bottae, A. enneaphyllum and A. pentaphyllum (maybe some are synonyms.. I am new to this genus). Can anybody give me some hints for the identification and tell me if seeds need any special treatment for germination (I read that Arisaemas need some refrigeration, but don't know if all the species need this). I have some surplus seeds for exchange, if anybody is interested can e-mail me privately. +More Thanks, and happy holidays ****************************** Giuseppe Orlando Santa Cruz de Tenerife Canary Islands SPAIN ****************************** 28.27.19 N 16.14.51 W ****************************** gius_orlando@terra.es

From: magrysbo at shu.edu on 2000.12.27 at 03:41:46(5799) Giuseppe, You may de-pulp the seeds in a bowl of water WHILE WEARING RUBBER GLOVES. (The juice can be very irritating). After a few rinses over a day or so the bare seeds can be rolled up in a moist paper towel or placed directly on top (do not bury) of some moist, sterilized, soil mix in a cool shady place. The paper towel seeds can be checked every few days. This works best for me and within a week or two a root can be seen coming out of several seeds. At this point I place them on top of soil mix, and when a leaf pops out, under flourescent lights for 2-3 months. Then they are dried out and get their first 3 month chilling. No rest is needed from the seed stage. This is basically a proceedure I have gotten from literature available to all AEGers (Arisaema Enthusiasts Group) and by communication with others.

From: Dyeingduk at aol.com on 2001.12.11 at 21:15:18(7883) I was wondering if anyone has tried growing Arisaemas in South Florida. If you have, what was the result. Ive noticed some plants that are listed to max at zone 9 do fine here in Miami. I just figured I would ask before i experimented. Thanks in advance, Paul Marcellini

From: Durightmm at aol.com on 2001.12.12 at 15:57:09(7892) Paul Arisema greow wild in SW Fl. and in Charlotte County in particular. They are found in somewhat boggy areas but seem notorius for dying when transplanted as well with carniverous species. J

From: mburack at mindspring.com> on 2001.12.12 at 16:58:01(7893) Paul- I have tried arisema in S. FLorida and they have all rotted and died on me. I dont think it was the heat... but more my soil mix.... I have moved to a mix for all plants that is extrememly loose and dry using 30-50% pumice which hold virtually no water. I would recomm. that if you try growing arisema in S. Flordia that you overwinter them in your refrigerator.... This way they will have the benefit of a "cold" winter.

From: "Plantsman" plantsman at prodigy.net> on 2001.12.12 at 22:02:04(7896) I thought that many, if not most, of the tropical species were in reality higher altitude plants that while seldom frozen, weren't subjected to extremely high heat either. But then again, I could be very wrong.

From: magrysbo at shu.edu on 2001.12.14 at 05:26:13(7910) Would be interesting to see if they could survive further north; or if they can do well with a shortened dormancy. Do they differ florally from typical triph's? Any luck with going back and finding dormant tubers in winter to transplant?
