Re: variegated #2


Mine hasn't in the 2 or 3 years I've had it, but I guess it wouldn't be a very pretty flower if it does--sort of a club shaped spadix, I think.           Joan Cooper

Does yours ever bloom?  If so, when?  I'd be curious to go back to this
place at bloom time to see if I can know for sure.  I just read on the
internet that Acorus calaums is not fertile... but I don't know if that
means it doesn't bloom or what.
