I just took the pic this afternoon after noticing it while cutting some evergreenies for decorating. Weather here is typical, almost a foot of snow a week or so ago, now no signs of white. It was in the 60's a few days ago, down to 15F tonight. I noticed the ground is like a rock when pounding in some stakes a few weeks back. How perennials grow through that...
I definitely need to pay attention to the evergreen types I have. A. italicum goes dormant when it's drier. I think many of the Arums are like this so I'll have to try some new varieties where I can enjoy them.
Merry Christmas all!!
