[aroid-l] Dracunculus foliage

From: James Waddick jwaddick at kc.rr.com> on 2003.04.29 at 14:06:47(10138) Dear All; A few years ago it seems like the only Dracunculus I ever saw had all green foliage - without white chevron marks/stripes. Over the last few years I have been more successful growing this species and all my mature plants have these striking white chevrons. I recall hearing that only certain geographic forms were so marked. True? I noticed that seedlings and small offsets have clear unmarked leaves. Any comments on the incidence of this marked/unmarked forms of Dracunculus? +More Thanks. Jim W. ps you can see these white Chevrons on Alan Gallaway's Bleeding Dragon pics: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~alan/plants/aroids/dracunculus/drac-pg2/ -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
