    I took a wander through Trelissick Gardens, Cornwall recently where I spotted this gorgeous Arisaema speciosum var Mirabile, helpfully it had a name plate.
    Close by I found another species, unlabelled (Boo!). So far the best I have been able to come up with, is A. concinnum (green form), but my confidence rating is miniscule.:scratch: :scratch: :scratch:
    Any ideas, guys?

    I have emailed Trelissick, but I've not heard back from them yet.

    TIA

      I don't think its A candissimum as with me it's a that is a laater flowering one, with distinct pink and white stripes.

        True it is pinker generally. But I had one once that was more green and white ( well I was told it was candidissimum!)

          @CarolineL there could very easily be a green form of A candidissimum in cultivation. have a feeling the leaves aren't right, but I couldn't find a photo of mine's leaves.
          There is certainly a white form available (Edrom Nurseries)

            Not Arisaema candidissimum as that has trifoliate leaves not cartwheel leaves.

              See also post above.
              There is a white flowered Arisaema candidissimum...but leaves are still in 3's.

              I love Arisaema and grew many different sp.in old garden.
              I also have the Arisaema book.
              But not enough time to compare leaves and spathe just now. Sorry.

                Hi guys.
                Thanks for the feedback.
                Silver Surfer, that is a beautiful specimen.
                I've not heard back from Trelissick, yet, but finger crossed.

                Thanks.
                Please feel free to look at my Arisaema pics on flickr to see if you can find a match.
                (grown in our Welsh garden. )
                All pics are labelled..in A- Z order.

                  Silver Surfer.
                  :wow::yay::wow::yay::wow:
                  Gorgeous pics and plants.
                  Still no closer to a definative ID, as I've not heard back. A. concinnum is still the closest I can find.

                    Well, I heard nothing from the NT garden staff, so I popped back to check, in case there was a name plate I had not noticed. (I can be as blind as a bat at times.:gaah::gaah:)
                    While there I rediscovered a secluded bed that they had cleared and replanted a couple of years ago. lo and behold, some more Arisaema, unnamed, and one labelled as A. ringens. Doesn't look like your's, Silver Surfer. The spadix is yellow and at least 2 feet long.

                      Arisaema ringens from a year or so ago.

                      The other looks like A tortuosum.

                      The second photo down reminds me of A griffithi

                      Thanks to the recent spell of dry springs and hot summers I no longer have these.
