Mitchel,
That is precisely why I keep telling people to never give up. I have Praying Hands pups coming up from corms you can't even see, because they have rotted off and have been gone for 2 years. But deep down something survives. I have Monthan trunk that fell over in January in the wind we had, and has just been layng around the yard ever since. Last week I cut up the corm and planted 8 "eyes" or pups.
