Excited to report discovery this weekend that my Arum is emerging for the year. Found it growing under and between some concrete edgers that I had lined the patio (totally forgot about the Arum growing so close o the edge!) Then I went to the rear woodland edge and discovered the large mature very old clumps had apparently gotten a jump on their growth as there are many many leaves up to approximately 10"- 12" long!! I took pics, but silly things wouldn't download. I need to copy a disc of this chip so it can be erased and reused. Will try to do that today so that I can post some pics of this lovely plant. I sure wish is was easier to transplant but , alas it has a very long taproot that once broken, the plant will die. I have successfully transplanted a couple of the very tiny 1st year "babies", so it is not impossible to do .
Also for those of you who saw my pics of the "Hearts a Bustin" berrying shrub. The berries are beginning to fall to the ground (those that have not been eaten. Well, I have discovered that there are small white seeds inside the small red berry. I plan on planting a few to watch for new growth. Sooo: wish me luck on that also. I will hopefully get pics of both of the above NLT this afternoon
See Ya!
