Re: [SG] Arisaema candisissimum was: Good Companions

Hi Marge,
        There are quite a few of the Arisaema with the large somewhat rounded
leaves. I have two in my garden that would fit that description until bloom
time. One is A. intermedium and the other is A. jacquemontii. Both have
deep chocolate brown pulpits with light pinstriping. Blooms size and shape
is different however. These do not emerge until June after out Green
Dragon. Be interested in which one you have if you find the label.
