Hi, I have the same bulbs. I can tell from the leaves. Do I put my pots in the cellar to overwinter? Bring them inside as a houseplant? I have cats, are they poisonous? Do I let them dry up and put them in a brown bag for the winter? Do you know of any links for all this info I need? Thanks, HollysOasis@aol.com

I know nothing about them or how to care for them in your zone, which, by the way, you can add to your info page so it shows in your posts.
I just did a quick Google search, (use Google to look for and research everything!) and it gave me tons of links for which you could research your questions, this was just one of them:

I dont believe this is dracunculus vulgaris ... I think it is Typhonium venosum

Shoot, I'll have the images moved. Not the first time I get mislabeled plants.

Tucked into their new catagory, which includes:
Synonym:Sauromatum venosum
Synonym:Typhonium venosum
Synonym:Arum cornutum
Synonym:Typhonium venosum

Seems the names are interchanging all the time according to some sites I read.

Hi Sue, I just want to clarify.. What I believe about the first pic you posted... It is to my knowledge Sauromatum or Typhonium.. Or I think there is "talk" that they may be the same. Chris, do you know the difference? The pic in the gardenhelper link is what I thought was dracunculus vulgarum. Are drac vul and Arum cornutum the same? Both Saur. & Typh (or whichever I have) bloom early in Spring (mine are working on them now!) it is a "naked" bloom, no leaves until after the bloom dies off, like amorphophallus's's's..

I have nothing up yet, it will start showing up as it gets warmer (mine stays outside in a large pot year round) and once that happens, it really shoots up, does it's bloom thing and quickly grows the leaves. It's in it's third year here.
