David,

Interesting that you should comment on the Lycoris. Mine barely bloomed this year as well. Do you think it is because of the drought?

Thanks for=A0your email.=A0 Attached was sent out to a very few people in the Fort Worth area.=A0 I am in my missionary mode and trying to get converts to Arum and aroids in general.

Speaking of James Waddick and I must speak of our other mutual love, Lycoris.=A0 This was not a good year for Lycoris radiata=A0in that there were only 20 or so blooms in my front yard, last year there were over 500.=A0 My biggest disappointment, however, is Lycoris albiflora and Lycoris aurea, neither of which bloomed this year, their second year in my Lycoris garden.=A0 Now the foliage is all up like nothing happened and that is true, nothing did.=A0 I didn't expect flowers from the Spring foliage Lycoris or from new acquisitions, but those two better get with it or they are going to get thrown out in a couple of years.=A0 :)

I am interested in the experiences of others, particularly with hygrophyllum and, maybe, rupicola.=A0



Dear David and all,=A0
I have grown Arum=A0hygrophilum (note spelling?) in the Kansas City metro area for upwards of 10 years. This is a Zone 5/6 location with extended droughts and low rainfall. Although we have already had a couple nights of 15 F the foliage remains undamaged. Colder nights are expected and some more foliage damages, too. =A0It recovers in spring =A0and blooms regularly. In short reliable and hardy here.

This spring I planted some tubers of Arum creticum after years of thinking they were too tender. I saw a single plant in bloom in a garden just north of Wichta, KS and was inspired. So far the foliage is just emerging and remains undamaged. Fingers firmly crossed.

I have a plant labelled rupicola which survives here, but I have doubts to ID and must compare to Peter Boyce=92s book one of these bloom seasons.=A0

Hope this helps.=A0 Jim W.=A0
