My First Experience with Arum

Published Thursday, February 01, 2007 by Chris | E-mail this post

I fear my first experience with an Arum is with a variety some consider (many consider) invasive--Arum italicum. This past weekend I thumbed through some wonderful books on the genus. I don't remember the exact name, but they were done by Timber Press, a champion of quality horticulture books. I also set in front of a computer with some wonderful plant people and perused through pictures. How I long to try some of the Arum species I was exposed too. If anyone has any knowledge to impart on this subject, I would love a good discussion (chris@southernbulbs.com).

We also had this little beauty, some form of Narcissus contabricus gathered in Louisiana. There are many different subspecies of this bulb, and I am not sure which category this one would fall into.

Raining here at the farm. Yesterday we had large snowflakes and freezing rain. It did not last long, but the dog loved it. Fischer is learning how to retrieve right now, but we still work daily on sit and stay. He is almost 50 lbs already.
