Thanks cincinnana,

I agree with Crazy Banana! That is real patience.

I am wondering which method is best and practical for over-wintering these in our zone. Since keeping a 6' tall plant with 10 large leaves isn't an option in my house, I seem to be left with a few choices:

1. Outdoor insulated shelter (probably not likely to survive?)
2. Bare root storage (maybe?)
3. Cut pstem down and allow it to regrow all winter in a pot indoors.
4. Keep small pups in pots indoors.

I like option 3 since this allows the corm to stay large and actively growing. Since the plant pups a lot, perhaps some experiments are possible.

Its a beautiful plant, so it would be nice to see a flower/fruit but I'll keep my expectations low!

Thanks

Erik
