Thank you everyone for enlightening me on Arisaema culture! I guess I will
have to wait several years to buy some since I can't afford those prices,
and I don't want to buy any that come from the wilds of China if it means
that they are digging up all of their wild areas to export the tubers. In
response to Gene's question, I had drooled over the photos in the Great
Plant Catalog but hadn't even gotten to the selection process once I saw
the cost....
