Several other plants have leaves too. It's so late in the year for such things but I'm not complaining. <br /><br />Beautiful photos. I need to get me some Arum. Love that foliage. Do you have any Cyclamen hederafolium?

The leaves die back in summer when the spathe and spadix flowers bloom and the cool red pokers of seeds are a welcome autumn sight and look way cool coming out of black mondo grass.
