Not sure if this had been mentioned before, but it bears another link anyway -
David Scherberich has a fine set of photos here :

Thank you for mentioning my pictures Maggi
I still have lots of them to upload to Flickr from a recent trip to Sichuan. I have seen some very interesting variation in leaves and inflorescences in Arisaema wilsonii, A. lobatum and A. dilatatum.

I hope many will enjoy the photos, David. Your new additions will be something to look forward to seeing.
I know you have a link in your signature but I am aware that some people do not notice those

I love this smart little Pinellia cordata 'Yamazaki'. I assume it is named after the famous nurseryman and collector by the same name.
It seems perfectly hardy in the gardens of friends to whom we have given plants but has not had time to prove it is a bit of a pest. Note the bulbils forming on the leaves.

Arum italicum a species that deserves more attention considering the great ornamental value as for instance foliage plant in the garden. Some examples:

Freddy they are nice! How did you manage to get that much variation? I grow the 'normal' italicum with large, freckled leaves, and 'marmoratum' but have never seen anything else so thanks for sharing!
A few years ago I had some small tubers left of Arum pictum, which I grow under my tomatoes in a greenhouse, and planted them under a large conifer where they can reach water if they need it, but would be bone dry in summer. Today when I walked past there was a tell tale smell..... Back-lit by the sun, which had gone by the time I got my camera. But still stunning! Does anyone else grow them outdoors?

I'm collecting for about 12 years snowdrops. But they look so sad alone so about 6 years ago i started to plant Arum italicum and Arum maculatum forms between the snowdrops, Helleborus, Crocus, ... to have nice combinations.
Different (GOOD named forms) of Arum italicum and maculatum are rare in cultivation and difficult to find.
I've searched a lot after them and 6 years later I can show so a good selection of about 20 different good named CV's.
A good feature of this CV's is that they sow much less!!!
1. Arum italicum 'Monksilver' - a almost totaly grey leaved arum italicum named after Joe Sharman's nursery. One of my favorites.
2. Arum italicum 'Walter's best' - a hoge leaved arum. The biggest i've ever seen! (selection of myself).
3. Arum italicum 'Lady Aron' - a new named CV. A lot of sliver in the leaves and also very large leaves.
4. Arum maculatum 'Splish Splash' - a lot of dots on the leaves. Oh i love this form!

5. Arum italicum' White Winter' - a large leaved form of marmoratum.
6. Arum maculatum 'Streaked Spectre' - a maculatum form with very large black dots.
7. Arum maculatum ex Gert Jan Van Der Kolk - selected in the place where Galanthus nivalis 'Green Tear' whas found. A very good form with just visible veins.
8. Arum italicum 'Sandy Mc NAb' - extremely strongly cream-veined.

9.Arum italicum 'Bill Baker' - very long narrow leaves whit long basal lobes. From Bill Baker.
10. Arum italicum 'Lord Aron' - huge round silvery leaves. Very special!!
11. Arum italicum 'Green Marble' - a good mix of different forms of green in leaves. A look a like of 'Chameleon' but smaller leaves.
12. Arum italicum 'Tiny' - the smallest of them all. A very nice form for rock gardeners
