I thought that Arum Lilies flowered in May and June, however I took this photo this morning on a neighbours plot!

I have my Arum in the shallow part of my fish pond its been flowering since June. They like lots of water. I had a double flower this year never seen one before. Anyone else seen a double?  they are one of my favourite flowers.

Georgie isn't it, that's Joe's dainty mitt holding it!  :)

Qahtan apparently they have no fragrance! Joe lifts and divides his. They can also be grown from seed.  :)
