[Aroid-l] Arisaema imports

From: ggusman at ulb.ac.be (Gusman Guy) on 2008.01.04 at 08:13:05(16891) Dear Dan, I didn't try barnesii outside because I never got much material so... On the other hand, I cultivated A. album from Meghalaya in a mild spot in the garden. It went through some winters before vanishing. Is it due to our cold winters? Or wet winters? Meghalaya is often compared to Scotland, also wet and mild. Guy +More >Hi Guy, > >Thanks so much for the IDs and glad you liked the pics. I really love the Paris and seem to have finally managed to get a few different ones established in my garden so now if they will just multiply I will be a happy gardener! > >I agree that Ar. album would likely have no chance, but I am surprised that barnesii can not take your winters, unless as you say it is the rain, which is always the real problem I think. > >We are finally getting our first real cold of the year and will not be above freezing for a couple of days or so. > >Happy New Year, > >Dan > >Dan Devor >Gibsonia, PA > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Guy Gusman > To: Discussion of aroids > Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 4:09 AM > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Arisaema imports > > > Dear Dan, > Very interesting website and beautiful photos.

Nearly all species mentioned in your list are hardy in our garden (zone 8, USDA scale). Except A. album and A. barnesii. I doubt they can suffer our wet, cold winters. > Best wishes. > Happy New Year. > Guy Gusman > > > > > Le 30 d?c. 07 ? 17:02, Daniel Devor a ?crit : > > > Hi everyone, I hope you are getting ready for a wonderful new year in 2008 :o) > > I am planning on importing some Arisamea for the first time in 3 years so if anyone is interested in any of the following Himalayan species and does not feel like messing around with this themselves then you are welcome to go in on an order with me.
