Greg, nice plants. If you don't already have it you need to get an Arisaema ringens planted in your gardens. We have an assortment of the Arisaemas planted in our gardens A. ringens multiplies quickly and is huge - one of ours is now 3 feet tall and has at least 5-7 flowers. Arisaema sikokianum is still my favorite though, purchased my first at New England Wildflower Society 10 years ago and had to dig it up and bring it with me when I moved to Virginia. Even though it doesn't multiply rapidly, you can't beat the flower in the spring.

Here's a pic of one of the A. ringens in the gardens last year.
