Kyle: Your offer is very tempting except that the pups are not ready yet. This CG plant is very unrealistic. It is so different and difficult to understand.
First , it took more than 2 years before it had pupped. Then it gave out 2 pups only. When the largest pup was 3 feet tall I thought it was ready for transfer but when I dug it out not a single root was attached to the corm. As a result, it died on me. I am now very careful with this 4 pups it has. One is already compromised. He is waiting for it for over 2 years now. And you know I have to leave one pup at least to continue its species. Then the 2 pups will be one for you but I don't know when. You might get one sooner at some other place and I won't blame you.
I have I think 23 varieties and I never have any problems with any of them plucking their pups. Some are still pups but would put out more pups than it could supply food. And all of them when I dug them out there were always plenty of roots attached. Not so with this CG.
But CG is my cold- hardiest of them all.
