Here's my Biarum marmariensis, which, this time last year, was a single non-flowering tuber.

Hi Massonia,

Very funny you say that - the replacement plant I was sent by PC when I complained that the first one was B. tenuifolium has behaved the exact same way over 2 years now - arrived as a small tuber and is now about 7 small tubers. I normally do quite well with this sp., so i was wondering what was up - dodgy clone possibly?

The plant I showed was from the now no longer extant Monocot nurseries, a much more reliable outfit when it was trading.

Anthony

very nice. I have been unable to flower it here and just like Alex I find mine divides freely so I have numbers of offsets. I am going to put it in a very hot spot next summer and sss if this has any effect.

Anthony,

The Arum pictum flowers easily here for me, yet the davisii (and ssp marmariensis) are almost impossible for me to flower it seems. :-\ Interesting you have the reverse (and maybe a clue as to why)

Hi Alex,
thank you very much for your comment, although it sound not very encouraging! ;) But I am also asking myself if it is really ditschianum! Unfortunately this would not be the first time that the mentioned nursery mixed up something in my order! I made this experience several times! Unfortunately I always got common species, instead of the rare ones!  :(
Does anybody now a source for a real ditschianum?
thank you!

Count yourself lucky - most of the plants I have had as Biarum davisii have turned out to be Biarums of the 'tenuifolium' ilk come flowering time!

I've never yet had a flower on any of them. Probably not hot enough here in the south of the country and failing a small glass house....... ???

Lesley,

I have friends who grow and flower Biarum far better than me down near Hobart in Tas,  If you're going to put up a glasshouse for them, why think a "small" glasshouse...... go for a large one and then you can really go crazy.  ;D ;D

I know this thread is old but i had (prematurely) replied to Alex that my B. ditschianum from PC were true to name. One of them has just flowered as a B tenuifolium form so it seems I have rogues too!
