Arum dioscoridis leopoldtii in the garden. The second flower opened yesterday when there was a strong desiccating gale blowing and the flower lasted only a few hours until it shrivelled.

Sauromatum venosum waited sensibly until this morning to open, contesting the smell of A. dioscoridis...

The older flower of A. dioscoridis syriacum:

Does anyone know about the status of the names A. dioscoridis liepoldtii, syriacum and spectabile? Are they var. or subspecies or just horticultural variations?

To Maggi: Thank you for flipping the pictures when needed. I would gladly do it myself, but haven't found instruction anywhere how to. Could you perhaps point me in the right direction?

(I have more picture viewing questions, but will not post them here!)

Quite early in the season a first flower of Zantedeschia Pentlandii. I love that deep yellow colour of the flowers.

Do not rotate the photos when moving them from the camera - some programmes retain the original format so when the pix are posted here they return to their original orientation.

Thaks Maggie, will stop flipping.

My first Arisaema candidissimum flowering (four years from seeds). Like mentioned before, growing Arisaema in pots solves the problem of wrong facing flowers

And a pic preview of A. fargesii of the same age. Very satisfying to see them flowering.

About 6 year after sowing my first flower of Zantedeschia Rehmannii. Took so long because I didn't give the plants the right amount of space they need to develop larger corms, until 2 year ago they were still growing overcrowded in the pot in which I had sown them.

Nice rehmannii, Francois. I bought a yellow hybrid some years ago and it keeps reappearing every year around now so they seem pretty hardy in our English climate. And Gabriela, your pics of A. candidissimum and A. fargesii are really nice!
I have an Arisaema in flower, grown from seedex 2013 marked as A. amurense, but it is clearly not.

It looks to me like A. heterophyllum. I grew A. draconitum until I lost the lot last year and from memory, they were greener and taller, and narrower. But maybe someone out there can help out?

The Zantedeschia has an extremely elegant flower.

Your Arisaema looks more like A. tortuosum Bart, heterophyllum has a more pronounced horse shoe shape leaf disposition, the spathe tube longer and the spadix with a different orientation. Here's a photo with my heterophyllum from a couple of years ago, this year it didn't flower but it's a miracle being alive, last fall I found the tuber partially rotten.

Mixed colours of Arum italicum-fruits.

Arum maculatum ´Bacovci´has variegated leaves

Mariette · « **Reply #25 on:** July 20, 2018, 10:25:16 PM »

and variegated spathas, too.

This selection of Arum maculatum shows always yellow fruits.

Arisarum proboscideum, the "mouse plant" may be weedy but those mouse-tails always make me smile

cheers

It was a very good season for Biarum here, the best I have ever had.

It started at the beginning of June with one collected at the Langada gorge, Taygetos. They are completely planted out.

Another collection from Western Peloponnese, following the traces of wild pigs and what they had left in 2010 is probably the same species. Biarum is probably not tasty for them.
