Hello,
I let myself to make small changes, just to let people outside
Texas know where Fort Worth is and that Typhonium sp. (the original
picture) is not Arum.
Best Regards,
Marek

James,
Thanks for your email. Attached was sent out to a very
few people in the Fort Worth area. I am in my missionary mode and trying
to get converts to Arum and aroids in general.
Speaking of James Waddick and I must speak of our other mutual
love, Lycoris. This was not a good year for Lycoris radiata in that
there were only 20 or so blooms in my front yard, last year there were over
500. My biggest disappointment, however, is Lycoris albiflora and
Lycoris aurea, neither of which bloomed this year, their second year in my
Lycoris garden. Now the foliage is all up like nothing happened and that
is true, nothing did. I didn't expect flowers from the Spring foliage
Lycoris or from new acquisitions, but those two better get with it or they are
going to get thrown out in a couple of years. :)

Dear David and all,
I have grown Arum hygrophilum
(note spelling?) in the Kansas City metro area for upwards of 10 years. This
is a Zone 5/6 location with extended droughts and low rainfall. Although we
have already had a couple nights of 15 F the foliage remains undamaged. Colder
nights are expected and some more foliage damages, too. It recovers in
spring and blooms regularly. In short reliable and hardy
here.
This spring I planted some tubers of
Arum creticum after years of thinking they were too tender. I saw a single
plant in bloom in a garden just north of Wichta, KS and was inspired. So far
the foliage is just emerging and remains undamaged. Fingers firmly
crossed.
I have a plant labelled rupicola
which survives here, but I have doubts to ID and must compare to Peter Boyceâs
book one of these bloom seasons.
Hope this helps. Jim
W.
