Default SH-3640 flies north

I picked up these beauties in the mail ..
Dwarf Nino and SH-3640 next to a Namwah from forum member gmichal403

They were potted this morning in 37 degree weather..
Bare rooted corms were planted in root manageable 3 gallon landscape containers for the winter.

The planting medium is a premoistened pearlite/peat moss mix salted with mycorrhizae and rooting hormones.
This is a 60 degree difference from Hectors garden to mine.
Currently resting under 900 watts of flouresent love.

I told Hector they went from the frying pan to the freezer.
These plants will be interesting to manage in zone 5/6.
I do think the SH-3640 will be a beast....lets see.

This is a very late season grow for me.....so I am anxious to see a new leaf.....in December...

Thanks Hector for these precious plants.........I will grow them like I stole them..

Plants are currently resting in the Jungle.
