Re: Trillium life cycle questiond

To Christopher Lindsey and anyone else who paid attention to my 
comments on Trillium:

Well, now! Jack in the pulpit (or the closely related green dragon)  
is another matter. I guess I should have questioned that red 
pericarp. 

Anyway, though they are not ant-dispersed, my comments about deer 
impact and increasing Trillium in your woods apply pretty well to 
Arisaema, too. Natural dispersal is by being eaten by birds or 
mammals, the seeds coming out unharmed in the feces. So, if you 
decide to propagate artificially, it improves germination to remove 
them from the red flesh.
