The big stink is doubly imminent.

I was going to suggest asking Pascal Bruggeman, John - but I guess Wim already did that!

The Royal Botanic Garden , Edinburgh, are pretty confident now that their Titan Arum has got a flower just waiting to emerge .... http://stories.rbge.org.uk/archives/15573 and here

I had a feeling it might just open on Canada Day as a tribute to our politicians, and in particular the Senate,all of whom are also in a big stink. Sadly it is not to be, things are moving quickly as night temps edge to 15+c.

And the same Arisaema from Replies 446, 448 & 449 still in flower a month later and looking decidedly better. Thought to be A. amurense with marked leaf but grown from Gardens North seed as A. sikokianum. And now with pups which everyone had an eye on.

All beautiful Ruben! Great to have Arums in the garden at this time of the year.

Really nice selections Ruben !
I'm still looking through woods here to find some variations but it seems that Arum italicum here is almost green and pretty stable.

Thx Francois!

Where are you in France?

I live near Poitiers ( Center-West) and we have both Arum maculatum and Arum italicum growing wild here. They can be like weeds even in my garden. That's why I look for variations : even if they can still be weeds, at least they're nice to watch ! And as you said earlier in this thread they make nice companions to snowdrops, hellebores and cyclamens...
I haven't start looking for maculatum this year though, it is still a bit too early for them as it has not rained so much during Autumn.
