What is Arisarum?
Some plants have a look outside this world. This is true of many members of the plant kingdom, but applies especially to three plants of the family arisarum . These flowering plants of cold weather are endemic for the Mediterranean region, but are grown around the world for their interesting leaves and flowers. They all have a clearly colored leaf hood over their flowers.
arisarum are members of the Araceae family. They are closely related to lilies Calla, elephant and cabbage plants. All these plants share wide characteristics such as elliptical or ovate leaves and striking inflorescences. Plants in this family prefer wet soils and mild sunlight. This plant has a purple and brown spot - a specialized leaf that covers the flower to protect it from the elements as it grows. The plant produces spadix - flower of the end of filming or tip with a fleshy protrusion in the middle. The fall of this plant is usually white or white. This species is originally from Spain, Morocco and PortoGalska and prefers a slightly dry to dry climate, unlike other members of the family.
arisarum Proboscideum , the mouse tail, is endemic for Italy and Spain. The plant is best in terms of consistently damp but well -drained soil. This plant has a dark purple to brown to steal covering white spadix. The appearance of Spathe and Spadix gives the plant its common name. Inflorescence is said to resemble mice due to a long tail that is connected to Spathe. This species thrives in the shade.
The third member of this family of plants, arisarum vulgare , is commonly known as Arison or, as is the case with Arisarum Simorrhinum , Friar's Cowl. The plant has a dark purple or Almuost Black Shathe covering white or white padix. The plant grows in the shade and the sun, but prefers consistently moist, well -drained soil. It is native all over the Mediterranean.
arisarum simOrrhinum and arisarum Proboscideum Bloom from late winter to early spring in a slight climate. arisarum vulgare flowers in early spring, until summer and stops blooming in the middle of cars. All plants are considered perennials, although they may lie sleeping during the hottest and driest months of the year, leading to a misconception that they are annuals.
