Arisaemas

(1/3) > >>

David Lyttle:
Would some one be kind enough to identify these two Arisaemas for me. I grew them from seed and lost the labels. I am guessing the first is Arisaema flavum.

KentGardener:
Hi David

no. 1 is definately Flavum.

My only guess for no. 2 is possibly heterophyllum- but I don't think it really is?

Hi David
I agree with John about number 1. But i think number 2 may be Arisaema tortuosum. If you could post a pic of the leaf open it might make it easier.

KentGardener:
I knew Dan would come to the rescue - Tortuosum definately sounds better than my guess.

David Shaw:
Number 1 - flavum except that I would not expect the leaves to be above the inflorescence. Maybe this could be due to it being pot grown under glass?

Number 2 - how about a young tuber of tortuosum? A. tortuosum often grow to 0.5m, hence I am suggesting young bulb, the spadix can be purple as well as green and the stem does not have to be mottled. An alternative choice could be yunnanense.

This is almost as good as the other photo competition!
