And no one has mentioned the hybrid between the two Lysichiton species, which is less common but certainly not less desirable! Dear Russell; This hybrid has occurred various times and is usually sold (when available) just as an un-named hybrid, but at least one named form 'Devonshire Cream' is available in England. There's a nice picture of this hybrid in the Lysichiton entry in the new "AHS/RHS Encyclopedia of Perennials". ( I coincidentally authored this entry, ahem!) I think it is hard to beat either of the species. The Asian species has pure white flowers while the American has brilliant yellow flowers. Hybrids tend to water down both, but some prefer the cream/ pale yellow color, too. And some folks NEED all three. best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
