Hardy Sauromatum?

From: Floral Architecture john at floralarchitecture.com> on 2005.07.05 at 17:28:48(13126) I was given a Sauromatum by a friend in Columbus, OH that is fully hardy on Canton, OH (z5b). It blooms every year, sets seeds and pups religiously. Can anyone tell me what it is? The leaf is large, about 3' tall and it really spirals from the center to the edges. I don't know if it has reseeded itself as I am only there a couple weeks at a time. I have thought about harvesting the seeds but I haven't. I have some of the same plant here in L.A., CA but it has only produced one flower and that was when I was in OH so I missed it. +More John Ingram in L.A., CA. www.floralarchitecture.com "Your Clivia Connection"john@floralarchitecture.com310.709.1613 (cell, west coast time, please call accordingly.

It blooms every year, sets seeds and pups religiously. Can anyone tell me what it is? Probably just the same Typhonium venosum, as it is now called. The leaf is large, about 3' tall and it really spirals from the center to the edges. I don't know if it has reseeded itself as I am only there a couple weeks at a time. I have thought about harvesting the seeds but I haven't. Typhonium venosum is one of those plants which offsets or pups so freely that it is hardly worth the bother of harvesting and germinating seeds unless you have some specific reason for doing so. My experience with this plant, which has only overwintered for me once here in Milwaukee, is that it is hardy in the ground to about 0 or +5 degrees F. Siting next to a building or additional mulch will probably gain you another 10 or 15 degrees lower in temp. -- Don Martinson +More Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mailto:llmen@wi.rr.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Abrimaal Svartvinter" abrimaal at o2.pl> on 2005.07.06 at 08:04:17(13135) It's not synonymous. The genus Sauromatum with 1 or 2 species has been moved in 2000 to Typhonium counting about 80 species. +More Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: danny wilson To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 4:45 AM Subject: RE: [Aroid-l] Hardy Sauromatum?

I always thought I could go out to my yard if starving...
