Hi Jim: My dead horse arum started to bloom about a month ago - in the basement under lights. As the basement is part of the air circulation system for our house (I discovered) it got moved outdoors promptly where it has not appreciated the cooler temps. Afraid the bloom never fully opened ... I think I will count my blessings and enjoy the foliage. Given Jim's recommendation I think I will trial it in the ground - far away from the patio/back door. It is 'potent'. Boyce Tankersley Chicago, Illinois 'Today my Dead Horse Arum started to bloom out doors on a > sunny west facing slope.
