Re:Kaichen Arisaema

From: goroff at idcnet.com (Iza & Carol Goroff) on 1998.09.02 at 03:40:29(2567) Guy & Ray: I received 6 species of arisaema from Kaichen. They were planted into frozen ground 6" deep in November. After that date we had a mild winter, maybe one day of -10 degrees F, the rest cold but warmer. No arisaema from Kaichen made it up. I blamed it on the possibility that the package had been frozen, since it was placed on our road mailbox in +24 F weather, but all of the corms looked solid and clean. Other plants from Kaichen have thrived. 3 of 4 cypripediums are up and looking healthy. 2 of 3 Lilium gloriosoides are up with one flower bud on each. The first opened yesterday with a white flower, heavily spotted with carmine in its flat center, the outer half of each petal unspotted and strongly reflexed, shaped like the gloriosa "lily". This is by far the latest blooming lily I have seen. Iza Goroff +More Whitewater Wisconsin zone 4b (usually)
