Kell, that is the coolest little Jack-in-the-Pulpit & so white. I noticed that you had this growing in a pot. Is that permanent or just until you find a place for it in the garden? My brother had purchased 3 bulbs @ $50/bulb & then later they were on sale for $38/bulb & he wanted to buy some & pot them up over the winter & plant out in spring or fall. Is this doable? I guess you would wait & transplant after it had bloomed right? I know his are in bloom now. Excellent photo.

Strever, that's a real bummer. Especially if the bulbs were pricey.

I so liked this one too!

It looks like Dick's will make it to bloom another day, hopefully

Broots, your brother paid that much for this bulb? I think I paid between $14 and maybe as high as $20 for each of my Arisaemas and all of them were flowering size. I am just learning about them but I got mine bare in wood shavings so I wonder if best to hold them over winter like that and then plant them in spring. I can dig up where I got mine from. Maybe you can order some from there or at least ask advice if they do not ship to Ontario.

Sadly, I have no real room to plant mine in the ground so they must be potted. However they are so interesting I rather like them potted. They live on my porch where I get to enjoy them daily.

Thanks for the info Kell. My brother's bulbs came bare like yours. He can always email the company he bought them from. They have a very good reputation, just a little pricey. I try to buy from them once a year, not $50 bulbs though.

Enjoy your arisaemas.
Linda
