Thanks.

Well, they are about 1-2 years old. I separated tons of them this spring and they have grown since. Most of the pups were 3-4 feet overall height with maybe 1-2 foot of trunk. They are a bit large to ship now. I only wanted to sell the ones with a nice corm to guys on the board this spring so they'll have the most success possible. These other pups that I'm referring to only had a small or almost non-existent corm.

Randy, I have one large pup left now. I planted the rest of them at school today. All together, I planted 7 large pups. It's kind of hot now with little rainfall. The area has some irrigation so we'll see how they do the rest of the summer. Hopefully, they will all make it.
