Hello Karen,
Welcome bacccckkkkkk!!! I am here in the background reading each day, but
doing very little replying or commenting. Up to my unmentionables in the nursery
part of my life.
I see where you have received lots of advice on Arisaema rust infections.
Marge is right... it is bad news. In a large stand in the woods there is not much
you can do but pray for the weather patterns to change.
I just found rust on one of the new Arisaema I ordered last fall... $35 one
bulb. It had to go.... can't take a chance on infecting my whole collection. It
does seem to be selective about species. A. triphyllium seems to be very easily
infected while A. dracontium is not bothered.
Just read of smut infection on Trilliums on another list and same type of
infection on Hepatica from another list. Shudder.......
