Thanks Maggi, I will stick to seeds for now, (phyto's and inspection fees are very expensive with our MAF in NZ)

I don't have either fargesii or franchetianum at all. Lesley, I think we could even manage a few corms next time, our Arisaema's usually produce plenty of kittens/cormlets.Don't forget to remind me

Talking of Gladiolus, here is 'Robinette' maybe one of the nanus forms/cultivars. As always with my camera, the red is not true. It is really a richer, deeper lipsticky red of gorgeous intensity. I have just a couple of these but will get more (readily available from the garden centres in autumn/winter) because it's just the right colour for Christmas vases and bowls, with callistemon, rata and other festive flowers.
Here is another picture, sent to me as a regular photo yesterday, from an Australian friend. It started life in my garden. It's past its best but why I'm showing it is because I think it surely must be the biggest plant of Weldenia candida, in cultivation. I know it has been divided once before but still it has made at least 10 major "noses" and many more younger, smaller shoots.
