Howdy "neighbor"! ... well.. close enough anyway.

Very nice collection!

I too have kept mine in pots this year as well, but mine are going in the ground this weekend. Its not too late to get them in this year. We still have 2-3 more good months of growing before the "COLD" gets here.

One of my guys I picked up for very cheap just the other day (yesterday in fact) I wont be able to leave out this winter though. He is a grand nain, and it is my understanding that those are NOT corm hardy in our area.

Are all of the Enesets hardy here? I know Ventricosum "maurelii" is for sure because there are quite a few of those around my neighborhood, along with Basjoo. I think you might be slightly colder up where you are than where I am as well since you are just north, and slightly outside of the down town urban heat island, and away from the tidal potomac.

Great stuff! Looking forward to seeing more!

Btw.. What is that VERY TALL big guy? Is that a Basjoo?
