Thank you very much Mitchel!!

I left my house at 6:00 AM on Sunday and headed down to Los Angeles. I arrived at 7:30 AM a 1/2 hour early. After stopping at the bagel store I met Mitchel aka momoese. He was kindly offering Jamacian Red monster corms. After hanging out for almost an hour and checking out his plants and meeting his dog we carried out the corms.

Mitchel, thank you very much!! It was a pleasure meeting you. Even my wife said WOW!

Understatement!! Can I say Fricken Hugh! New leaves are already trying to emerge out of the tops and they have lots of pups

You're welcome Andrew, It was a pleasure meeting you too. Hopefully you'll get some leaves before they flower! The biggest corm had already sent the flower bud up the P-stem so I had no choice but to chop it up.

Congrats and good luck, Andrew! Thanks for spreading the joy, Mitchel and good luck with your dwarf reds (if I remember correctly).

I think I might need to look into getting some of those they have a nice red color.
