Arisaema 2012
I was sowing some Arisaema from the Chris Chadwell seed share from Little Tibet, and it inspired me to start this topic. I'll start by posting some Arisaema photos from spring 2011.

Crocus 2012
Some pictures of
Crocus pelistericus
Crocus scardicus
and the hybrid between them
Crocus gothenburgensis
with in this case C. scardicus as the seed parent. Apart from being paler it is very similar to C. scardicus and the more lurid colours only come out in the F2 generation which I have not produced yet.
Finally all three together with the hybrid in the middle
Eurasian bulbs

Anyone growing this? A friend of mine bought some bulbs in August and potted and watered them in very early September, since then-nothing! A friend of his in England reported that he had rried them several times but had lost them each time. Any tips out there please?
