The arboretum we look at a lot of kinds of cherry blossoms is Tama-sinrin-kagakuen,it take one hour from Tokyo by train. At there we look 250 variety of cherry blossoms. I wondered if there are any gardens/conservatories of > aroid interest there? There is a large collection of tropical plants at Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden. It takes 2 houres from Tokyo. About 250 varieties(species and cvs) of aroids we look at. Arisaema spp. flowers come out near the end of this month in the field. Hiroki Miyazaki (Nagoya, Japan)
