I also love giving them ;D, but unfortunately there is a lack of sun and heat. In nine years, not a single flower! I have now decided to dispose of the pot Biarum davisii.
But it is comforting to read that others also goes so!

Arum pictum is in flower now.

One flower is extraordinary this year.
It is an inflorescence with a small and a big spathe and one spadix.

Great plant, Egon - the fruits look  like pine cones, don't they?
 I believe it is best to sow the seeds fresh, and still in the sticky coating - http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Symplocarpus

My Symplocarpus blooms very early in spring. Seeds ripen now and need to be sown as soon as possible.

Is thjs Biarum tenuifolium? Collected many years ago in the Peloponnese. It is planted in the garden and has survived the last three winters so is clearly very hardy.
