Arisaemas

Lesley Cox:
David your A. flavum could be ssp. abbreviatum, depending on the height. The subspecies grows to only 15-20cms in height but is otherwise similar. The leaves are usually about equal with the spathes.

Have you had a look at the A. tortuosum in the Clive Lister Garden at the DBG? They are very robust this year and well over a metre in height, due, I suppose to the cool, damp early summer. Have a look at the Clive Lister Garden thread on this Forum (General Forum, page 2) to compare with yours.

Lesley Cox:
I meant to post this one yesterday in the "downunder" thread but now we have one for Arisaema, it can go here.

It is Arisaema ciliatum and if there were a prize for the most elegant plant in bloom, I think this must win. It's dangling thread and beautifully curved spathe are quite lovely. I like its pin stripes too.

John Forrest:
David, I reckon it is A. tortuosum and a useful site to compare is

www.hillkeep.ca/images/Arisaema_tortuosum

I have it also but mine is the green pathe form but with wonderful stem colour.

Susan Band:
A really good website for pictures of ariseama, close ups and habitat is found on www.asianflora.com. There is also a good quarterly email newsletter you can sign up for with lots of great articles ( unfortunatly a lot in French ). It has also a great range of corydalis and other photos. I will add a link on the links page.

John Forrest:
Forgot to say what a lovely picture of your Arisaema Lesley and I agree with every self deprecating comment you made about its elegance. ;)
