Some I do, some I don't. The thunbergii and triphyllum shown above, stay out in the garden the entire year. I've got some special colour forms of thunbergii which I lift every year and I do the same with kiushianum.

Hello Wim.
Do you think that these are two different forms of Arisaema ringens that il have there ?

Arisaema ringens for the last time this year, hence the look at their backs 
And three times my favourite owls, Arisaema kiushianum.

Wim  -  Lovely specimens Wim.  Can you give us some tips on growing A. kiushianum and thunbergii urashima?  The seedlings come up early and then collapse about 3 weeks later, they're still in the pots but won't see them again till next March!

Fred - Nice ones, they'd be splendid mixed in with a very big clump of the type.

Hi John,

what can I say, thunbergii just grows outside and stays in leaf until July/August. I don't do anything about that one. Just some nourishment, if I don't forget! And kiushianum is kept in pots (50% garden soil + 50% sharp grit). Almost completely dry and cool (not below freezing) in winter. They are placed outside during summer, untill they die down naturally (August/September)...Not a lot of tips on growing them, I know, but over here, they are quite easy.

Friend offered me an Arisaema yesterday and I'm very happy to get it.  Initially it was thought to be a sibling of a sikkokianum x amurense which Wim had identified last year.  It turns out it came from a bulb supplier called Garden Import (owned by Dugald Cameron) in Ontario, now closed down.

She has no record of the name.  I've narrowed it down a bit, Arisaema costatum, dahaiense (but said to be tender), elephas, propinquum or speciosum (also said to be tender).

Thoughts?  Update  - Thank-you Wim, P. Bruggeman has identified it as propinquum which I've been chasing for quite awhile.
