Hello; quite some time ago, we discussed Arisaema and I mentioned the
beautiful A. candidissimum, which I had purchased from Wayside for $45.00.
Presently, Wayside is selling it for the more agreeable price of $12.95. I
have been really happy with this plant (except the price I paid), as it
requires virtually no maintenance, and suffers neglect without a hitch.
The catalogue states that it is a native of China, but I have read
elsewhere that it is a North American native. Anybody know which is
correct? Also, how can I tell if a plant is Arum marmoratum or A. italica
(?) 'Pictum' (I'm not sure if I got those species and variety names right),
and are there other cultivars or confusingly similar species in the trade?
