As promised, although a trifle late, I have put together a 4-picture gallery of the East Asian Arisaema heterophyllum. After being in bloom for nearly 3 weeks, and after lots of hot weather up to nearly 100 degrees (36 C) for several days, and gusty drying winds, the plant and it's pale green hooded spathe flower looks as fresh today as it did when the flower first opened 3 weeks ago. Please checkout the photos and commentary at: http://plantbuzz.com/RockGard/Woodland/… ...or goto http://www.plantbuzz.com/ and click on the A. heterophyllum link.

Dear Plantsmen: A local friend who "did" orchids as a teenager and young man told me one of the identification tools for fragrant Cattleya orchids is the time of day they emit fragrance and stop emitting. Amazing things, flowers. Kind regards, Joyce Miller, Sacramento, CA, USA USDA Zone 9A Responses may be sent to: mailto:onager@midtown.net
