Re: arisaema speciosum
Something, maybe a skunk, attack this one. I found it chewed in several pieces, the leaves torn from it, and the bulb pulled from the pot and chewed up! Why do the critters always eat the expensive stuff?

Re: Desperately need help saving Hosta!
Moles don't eat vegetation. They eat grubs and bugs. If your hosta disappeared, you may very well have voles.

Re: Desperately need help saving Hosta!
I've never tried rooting in water, just put them in a pot and kept moist. You may have to stake it to keepit upright, if all the roots are gone. It's a never ending battle with the voles. Now I find them eating sedums roots. I'm caging everything new that I put in the ground and going back through o...

arisaema speciosum
I bought quite a few different ones this spring. I think I'm getting hooked on arisaema. Between the 'hood' and the coloring of the stem, you would almost think it was a snake.

Re: arisaema sikokianum
Update on my cages, they seem to have worked very well. I do see vole holes near the cages, but the holes are not deep enough for the voles to enter the cage from the bottom. I will continue to cage more this summer. And now I'll be caging my arisaema and sedums. Yep, the voles have been eating sedu...

It is pretty, and then it blooms and next year, you are pulling it out by the handfuls. I find it and pulmonaria every where.

Re: arisaema sikokianum
Oh No! Do voles eat these also? I would have thought these were poisonous. I ordered a bunch of different one for this spring. I'll have to cage them if voles eat them. Mine are in a fairly deep shade, a little dappled light as the sun passes over during the day, slightly elevated for drainage, but ...

Pileated Woodpecker
A female Pileated Woodpecker has become a daily visitor at our birdfeeder this winter.
When the sun hits her crest, it just glows.

Re: arisaema sikokianum
I planted 10 in that spot and about 4 of them have variegation. There is a sikokianum 'Silver Center', and I think that may be the variegated ones.
So looking forward to spring!

Be careful handling the roots when you divide. The sap is said to be poisonous.

Re: Seed pods..
Would Holly Hostaseed go around scattering seeds all over the land?
We had a hard freeze late in May this year. We noticed there were far fewer bees this summer also. Last year, I had pods on just about every plant that bloomed but this year, there are far fewer pods.

deer rubbing antler - slightly gross
Caught this big guy rubbing the velvet from his antlers this morning. It looks a little gross but I guess it doesn't hurt them.
