Arisaema thunbergii ssp. urashima

[parvi_17]

Arisaema are really cool plants to grow with Cyps and other unique woodland plants. Here are some shots of this gorgeous species, which smells like sliced deli meat .

That's what I thought! Some of these can look really sinister.

WOW!!!!!!!! I would like to have one plant like yours, but it's difficult to find it here.

Looks like a tall plant in a small pot, topheavy? Thanx for sharing this interesting plant.

The plant is about 10" tall and growing in a 5" pot. The flower/spathe is huge compared to the rest of the plant, which makes it look bigger than it really is.

The spadix on these is out of control - I've seen some well over a foot in length! Have you found it to be cold hardy in your area?

Cool. Very sculptural.

They can be overwintered here if they are put in a sheltered spot and get tons of mulch and snow shoveled on them. I usually grow in pots though.

where did this one come from?

I sort of wanted a plant that resembles Amorphophallus titanum. ....But not sure if I want so many stinky plants though they are fascinating

It's from Hole's, the only place in town that carries Arisaemas other than triphyllum. They are quite pricey; this one was $40. Some are $60. They don't stink that much; you have to get right up to the flower to smell it.

There are no places locally that carry Amorphophallus, though I'm sure you know Fraser's carries them. Not all are as big as titanum.

That's freaky! I have Jack in the Pulpit in my garden but they aren't as cool as yours.

As far as native plants go, Arisaema triphyllum is a pretty cool plant; but yes the Asian species are better yet. Explore them! They are awesome.
