These two plants were grown from small bulbs (about the size of snowdrops) that I purchased at the Gardening Scotland show earlier this year. They were rather expensive at £5 each but, in my opinion, they were well worth every penny.  They are totally hardy and certainly create lots of interest from any visitors I have.
Arisaema Sikokianum - a type of Japanese Cobra lily.

The flowers are supposed to last at least two to three weeks but sadly they don't have a scent.
I'm definately the only one in the whole village with them and I'm chuffed to bits that they've flowered for me. I'm hoping that the bulbs will multiply as I'd love to have a patch of them in the garden. Let's hope they overwinter well.
