Default Asian Mayapples

Xref: kermit rec.gardens:228221

There are 11 named Asiatic species ( and six more subspecies and varieties)
in three different sections in contrast to the single North American
species, Podophyllum peltatum. Podophyllum hexandrum is only one of the
Asiatic species. There are at least two more Asiatic species not yet validly
named. The species vary widely in size, leaf shape, flowers and fruit.

Oh, lucky you, they are beautiful. Thanks for posting the pictures.

How do they compare in size to the natives?
