Re: [SG] Arisaema & Rust

Hi Bobbi,
        Can't answer this one. There has been quite a bit of discussion about this
subject on Arisaema-L and no real conclusion was reached. I remember
someone with knowledge on the subject making the statement that rust was
host specific. If on one does not mean it travels to the other. Just know
there is a real problem with rust on Arisaema. I did not see it here until
2 years ago and I can not help but think it has been the weather we have
been having for the past 3 years now (including this spring). Very wet and
consistently so. Good rust growing weather.
