Re: And this is a ...
Yep on second and third look, the way the cut leaves at the base of the plant have shrunk in , it looks very like Musella Lasiocarpa. As was said big plants for the price. they must have cut all the pups off for propagation before potting those plants up. They must have done it not long ago as Lasiocarpa pups like crazy , a plant of that size would have a mass of pups at the base. I like to grow them pupless as they look better. So perhaps keep one plant for pups and propagation and keep the other pup free by cutting the tops off as they come out of the soil. If you manage to lose the main stem in the winter which has happened to me, then I just cut the main stem almost to the ground and in a few weeks lots of pups come up. I then lift the whole plant and carve off pups with a chunk of main corm and roots. These divisions all take well and you have too many plants very quickly.
Later
