Thanks for the kind words.
The basjoo that's in flower was wintered over using the cage method.
I took some pictures last fall of the cage, I hope to be able to get those pictures up (there on another disk) but it was a monster. When I opened it up this spring no part of the pseudostem went bad. So we started this spring at almost 4 ' of height. Just to clear up one point the pictures that I posted were taken last Sept so the basjoos are bigger now. Hope to get pictures of the flower this week.
