more garden happenings

[gryph...@yahoo.com.au]

The Amorph's have finished flowering so there's time to kill until
they start to shoot - or so I thought. It's Arisaema time now! The
earlier species like ringens, triphyllum and robustum are up and
flowering now - no yucky smells here. Lots of insects getting trapped
in the flowers though, and dying there too - they must have been
attracted to something the flower emits. Arum dioscoridis has
flowered, beautiful, but smells like a combination of manure and
mothballs - weird AND yucky, but it is kind enough to let its
befuddled insect guests go. Sauromatum venosum have also been
flowering, so it's been stinky for a few days, with lots of flies
hanging around. More and more things are starting to wake up - time to
start potting them up, my work will be cut out for me soon.

Cheers, Jess
