Re: Re: Florida Arisaema.

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 2001.03.06 at 14:45:52(6016) Dear Folks, Yesterday I came across a seemingly natural population of an Arisaema sp. in Hobe Sound, just N. of Jupiter on the E. Coast of Florida. This is way South of where I had read they occur, which was I believe somewhere around Gainesville, N. Florida. It is in a tidal bog just W. of the intercoastal, around Condos. 'A' and 'B' of a development called 'Loblolly Bay', built on stilts over this black, wet smelly soil, sand fly infested swamp!!! A LOT were in bloom, the plants varied in size from 12" or so up to 3 - 4 feet! I know that there are two species recorded from Florida, A. dracontium and A. triphyllium ( ? ), any know how I can tell the difference?? LOTS of Peltandra virginica in this area also!! I also noticed that Philo. 'Xanadu' is beginning to come into bloom, single inflorescences emerging from the leaf sheaths of the younger leaves on mature plants everywhere! Good growing, Julius Boos +More WPB, Florid
