Next flowers end of July from the same collection at Western Peloponnese. All of them had a green spadix now, maybe Biarum tenuifolium subsp. abbreviatum.
Then
Biarum tenuifolium
followed,
from Mt. Etna, Sicily, completely planted out:
and from Basilicata, Italy also planted out.

The last till now is
Biarum ohridens
e that I have got last year.
Quite unusual to all the others it took three days to fully open and I first thought this is an open flower:
But suddenly it really opened:
Maybe it doesn't attract pollinators so well as there is no ugly smell. Normally I smell within 10 meters when a Biarum flower has frehly opened.

That is an impressive range of Biarum, Stephan.Very nice. Could you perhaps show an overview picture of where you have planted them? If I understand correctly they are out in the the garden ? I haven’t had much luck with them in pots so far, it would be nice if they survive in a gravel bed or so.

First I grow all Biarum in pots. They do very well here, in clay pots, plunged in a protected sand bed. When I have too much I put them outside and I added this, when the shown plants are from outside.
Attached one example how many bulbs I had from less than 10 collected bulbs after 6 years.
Pictures of the place will follow.

Here are the places where I grow my Biarum.
First Biarum tenuifolium from Etna, growing at the bottom of the picture:
Biarum tenuifolium idomenaeum below the peach tree close to the house is just behind the pine tree shown before.
Biarum "spruneri" grows further off the house but protected from our sometimes very cold east winds in winter. Arum pictum plant is the next to the right but still dormant.
The rest is protected in the bulb frame when necessary. It is the hottest place in the afternoon that seems to be very good for Biarum. Some are planted out behind it, below the thuja.

A new Arisaema species has been described by Pascal Bruggeman and the paper is available by open access on this link :
https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea/pre-prints/content-nbc-blumea-0471
Arisaema anatinum
Brugg. has officially been published so a new species can be added to the flora of India and Bhutan

May ist rather early fro an autumn bloomer, isn`t it?
But we experienced a warm and dry April followed by a wet and cold May; that may have confused it-

This year I was swifter than the slugs: Arum dioscoridis undamaged and with pollinators collecting.
