This was April 15, notice the hostas in the background
It took a long time
May 8, hostas are taking over
Today, May 8 it finally opened, what a treat. It was a surprise mixed in a bunch of Arum Italicum bulbs I planted last fall.
Yours is much earlier than mine, it hasn't started to make a spathe yet!
Now you will be hooked, they are intriguing things aren't they!
Yes, quite a novelty. Now that I have it, I'll move it somewhere else. When is the best time? After the bloom dies? What happens next? Will I get berries?
Full of questions here.
Thanks Kin, that's what I was thinking too.
I agree with that, they are sold in the autumn and need time to establish roots being early flowering.
I keep looking at mine and thinking there won't be a spathe this year, but it's bigger than ever! It has made 3 babies but I wouldn't think that would stop it from blooming.
I thought I was going to get berries last year but they didn't make. I had a couple of alien looking beetles spend the night in there at the bottom, then another different pair, but I think you would need two from a different population to fertilise them.
