Negligible rain here and it has gotten a bit breezy in the last couple of hours but nothing notable. The tropical air has moved in though - +22c and with the humidex +32c at midnight.  Next hurricane José which is battering Bermuda.

Vermont is having an awful time with flooding.

Arisaema -  Thry seem to be very confused here, wanting to come up when they should be dormant and vice-versa. Sometimes they could come up twice in a year but never lasted long.

You did grow them in pots, or did you have them out in the garden? The species I've seen in the wild have all occured at lower/intermediate altitudes, don't think I've ever found them above the "bone hardy" 3000m mark... Still haven't figured out what sort of climate P. luquanensis actually grows in in the wild, last year it stayed green until February, and I wasn't sure how to make it die down.
