Much of the F. assyriaca available is actually F. uva-vulpis, you might

want to
check the identification of your plants.

--------------------
F. assyriaca and F. uva-vulpis *are* the same, I prefer to use assyriaca to
uva-vulpis which always sounds to me slightly de trop! However, I *do* like
the sound of "Uva Vulips" and her deadly choice of garden plants. It's a
shame we couldn't meet up sometime, she'd just love my now flowering Arum
dioscoridis!


Maybe our fictional Uva Vulips sends bouquets of arum dioscoridis
to her friends when in hospital?
