Yesterday it was 50F and I spent a couple hours finishing sucking up the shredded leaves with the mower. Boy, was I on borrowed time.
Today it is 37F and SNOW!!!
This poor guy braves winter almost alone. It emerges just before frost in the Fall, stays green all winter, blooms and has red berries in early Spring.
Sounds like he should be "down under". I actually crossed it off my spreadsheet. Now where is the undo function.
Hey, where did everybody go???

Lucille,
Hi ! That is a great idea to plant them where I can see them from inside. I only have this one and by luck I can see it from where I sit at the table.
What other ones do you have? Do you have a good online source? I would like to get more. I bought this one locally and it was the only variety that they had.

Hi Pandora
Mine looks like yours, but today it is covered with snow, hope it perks up when the weather warms up tomorrow. My intentions were to buy more each year to have them in more places as they are a great plant, but this year time got away from me. I also have Peltandra Virginica green Arrowleaf Arum it grows in my bog area and stays green all summer long, good looking plant and this year it really took off, I love it. see picture on this web site.
