They're blooming now, and I noticed the other day that butterflies like them as a nectar source. They didn't perform very well during the drought of 2012--they barely bloomed and went dormant. But this year, with plenty of moisture, they're vibrant and healthy. I must have 50 or more (100?) Arisaema triphyllums here. Many are volunteers--they grow wild in the woods out back. They're interesting in every season here except winter (when they're dormant and covered in snow).

That purple is just too remarkable. I loved all the alliums too. You'd honestly think I could grow them but they scream and run when they see my garden.

Alas, I don't recall the names right now, but one is the shorter plant with dark leaves and the other is a dark green cut leaf, and supposed to get tall. It's not loving its home, though, so it hasn't done squat since buying it at the Leach Botanical sale. :( I have high hopes for next year's performance.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247379600555185331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-74453938791626355912015-07-28T13:13:38.283-07:002015-07-28T13:13:38.283-07:00Another planet to me, all that moisture-grown foli...Another planet to me, all that moisture-grown foliage.
