Aroids (the family Araceae)

[PeterT]

I find it difficult to eliminate too Hans, I dig out the tubers and tiny offsetts come up again in large patches. It is handsome though!

Kees - beautiful, nothing like seeing them in their habitat.

Looking good at the moment, Arisaema speciosum and A.exappendiculatum which has become a nice weed in the woodland.

A time of plenty - two more weirdos for the collector of weird plants   

Amorphophallus bulbifer and

Amorphophallus richardsii.

Some pictures of Eminium spiculatum from the Negev desert (grows next to Iris mariae).
I like it- it does not smell bad 

[Tony Willis]

Kees and Miriam what super plants. Thanks for showing them,I just wish they would grow with me.

[PeterT]

that looks fantastic Mirium, I've not tried that one but I shall keep my eyes open for seeds

[BULBISSIME]

Superb Miriam !
I've missed them but I really like this family... except the smelling 
I sow some seeds but still waiting for germination....

[Hans A.]

Superb picture, Miriam - really beautiful Eminium!

[Hoy]

Arisaema elephas?

I have 3 specimens of this species - anyway what I think is the same species. I can't remember where I got it.

Arum korolkowii

[Paul T]

Delicate colour, Arnold.

And hearkening back to earlier on the page (i.e last year's postings).... that Eminium is glorious.  I've never seen an Eminium in person..... that one sort of looks like a Dracunculus (leaves) crossed with a Biarum crossed with an Arum.  Very cool.

Not sure if thats a A.elephas Hoy.If it's from Chen yi it can be almost anything....well..pheraps we can lock out A.flavum 
Here a pic of somthing i have named A.elephas......//Jonny

Arum palaestinum.  This is a foul smelling one.

The tiny projects trap pollinators until the flower ripens then allows them to escape to carry pollen to another flower.
