But then yesterday, low and behold I see it awakening atop, but also, you might see in the photo at about 3 o'clock, there's a small shoot/growth point poking out of the soil from the corm below.
It sits in a windowsill and receives supplemental lighting in the evenings. Although it looses about an hour between the sun setting and when I get home from work to turn the light on.
I suppose the Gros Michel didn't make it for a number of reasons? It didn't have nearly as much corm to work with and I may have stuck it too deep not being able to tell where it should sit. Hopefully I'll have another chance in the future!!
