Thanks guys. This was a tissue culture I stuck directly in the ground, straight out of the USPS box along with Lou Ferrigno. I think that's a good spot in my yard.

I have to keep cutting leaves off mine in the basement, next year it may be too big to store. It's replacements are lining up.

Yes, it's a corm cut in 4 pieces. Seems to work well, bought my first one and have grown my own since.

OK I have the one you see in the pic and a hopeful little TC right now. I can't bring myself to cutting up this one but if the TC takes off I'm going to give it a shot. Very nice and thanks for sharing.
