So I have come to the conclusion that if and when it ever does frost what is growing will back off. The corm is what I'm concerned about and it/they should be nice and warm with what's all piled. Am I correct?
I still haven't done anything to mine. A light frost a couple weeks ago burned a few leaves, so I cut them off. But a new leaf continues to grow.

I've decided to dig mine up and store it in the basement. I'll see what next week's weather wants to do, but this warm weather is crazy. My elephant ears are still growing too. We really need a few nights down around 30, or upper 20s. We still have flowers blooming, some trees are still green.
