Two of the Arum are in flower at the moment.
A. dioscoridis is a stunner heaving many color patterns, I find the one in the photo particularly nice since it is only bi-colored without the reddish background. not recommended for people with sensitive nose.
A. hygrophilum has nice arrow like leafs and grows in humid, often shades places.
-
Oron very fine,I have never seen hygrophylum in the wild it is lovely
-
Most Arums have very attractive foliage mixed with the proper plants in a border.

very nice! especially the first..i've only recently seen these temperate aroids; not yet sure what might be hardy here (i dont mean these species), hopefully a couple, but otherwise, i will probably have to try some in pots...

A. dioscoridis certainly is a real stunner.
What are the tiny blue flowers next to it?
I had these growing in my yard in Australia, I just thought it was a type of chickweed, also had orange flowered ones.

Amazing plants, Oron!
Cohan, I haven't even found the most likely one (I think), Arum italicum, to be hardy here, but... not so showy as Oron's and not quite the same thing, but Arum (Arisaema) triphyllum, is hardy here (not surprisingly, given its natural range). Other arisaema that are hardy here (also in my experience) are A. flavum and A. amurense. There are, undoubtedly, others I haven't tried that are hardy. (This spring, I will get to see if A. consanguineum is hardy here, from a bunch of last year's seedlings.. I generally assume it will be, or I wouldn't bother with the seeds, LOL!)
-
tks lori--yes, i thought there should be some arisaema; i think i have seen a few listings in kristl's seeds, and beavercreek (though johnw has cast some doubt on beavercreek's hardiness listings) that are supposed to be zone 3...of course i know that's no guarantee, nor am i certain if i am zone 3, anyway!...lol
i dont think i will get as far as arum's this year..

Hi Cohan:
Several Arisaemas, including triphyllum (a number of variants), dracontium, and amurense, among others should be hardy with you.

tks for the tips, alberto, i am looking forward to trying some :) i guess many of these are woodland plants, so that's suitable for much of my place!

Wonderfull pics oron, your Arum are gorgeous !
Thank's
-
Stunning! After seeing those absolute beauties, I can't wait for the next spring over here in NZ. Keep those photos coming to get me through, cheers.
-
Doug,
If you grow the species Arum pictum you don't have to wait for spring..... it's flowers emerge with it's leaves in autumn. I find a lot of the other species flower quite early in spring/ mid-to-late winter here.
-
Now this is a real cute monster, Eminium spiculatum, another member of the Aracea family.
-
Oron
that is great to see,such a nice weed in the olive groves
-
Fantastic Oron :o :o :o
You should open a web site dedicated to all the beauties and rarities you have in israel !!
Great again to see them in the wild, look's allways better than in cultivation ;)
-
Fred,
Good idea, i agree on one condition and that is that you are going to become the official photographer of the website ;) ;D
-
Official photograph no ;D
I'm not so good !
But it will be a pleasure to come to Israel to take pictures,... one day ::) ;)
I'm thinking about a trip / year in the middle east countries...
-
Dont be so modest, just put on a helmet and I'll be more than happy to join you...
-
OK Oron, I'll remember that !! :)
-
Oron,
Fantastic!! I've never seen that species before.... but I just love the texture. I must try to find out whether that is available anywhere in Australia. I'd grow it for the texture alone, but being an aroid as well makes it even more of interest to me. 8) Great stuff!!
Thanks again. :)
-
Thanks Oron, fascinating to see. We used to grow E. spiculatum albovirens from Egypt for many years but being a single plant it never set seed and eventually died off.

A. dioscoridis certainly is a real stunner.
What are the tiny blue flowers next to it?
I had these growing in my yard in Australia, I just thought it was a type of chickweed, also had orange flowered ones.
They are pimpernels (Anagallis sp.), aren't they?
-
My First Arum creticum is flowering near the bulb frame's wall, smelling ....

Yes Jim, these are Anagallis arvensis, a very common plant here.
Fred do you grow the dark form as well?
-
Arum palaestinum starts to bloom now.
This is the largest species here, when it has good growing conditions , flowers are huge.
I tend to think that there are also hybrids between A. palaestinum and A. dioscoridis resulting in spotted dark flowers.
-
Oron, I only grow the typical form and never seen the dark form...
Your Arum palaestinum is ( again ) wonderfull !
I grow it but they are still young plants ....
I also think you're right about the possibly hybrid origin of your plant as the typical form is unspotted.
Anyway, this is a very nice form !!!
Do you know if it grows higher in the mountains ?
-

Fred,
There is a population of A. palaestinum at 1050m on Mt. Hermon, these are very robust plants and certinally more hardy then other populations.

Great thread. Oron, your photos of plants in the wild are priceless. Thanks for sharing these beautiful monsters ;D
