Dear Julius,

Thanks so much! I've found out that they can take extreme cold during the
winter (far colder than my zone 5b/6a), but as you say, they grow in the
spring rainy season and then go dormant during the hot, dry summers and so
need to be kept completely dry for their summer dormancy. I was told that
they are not like Arum which grow throughout the mild winters of their
homeland, but rather have a short growing season in the spring and early
summer. I was thinking of importing a wonderful Trillium kurabayashii and
some species Colchium and Fritillaria anyway so adding this one tuber will
probably only increase my cost by perhaps $35 (pricey for me, but not by
aroid standards). If you can remember the name of the grower in Holland who
grows these please pass his e-mail along to me. I could not receive the
tuber until next fall so I have plenty of time to try and do my homework
with the help of the aroid-o-philes here!!
