Thanks for posting,

I have so many plants at the greenhouse, it might actually be worth it to rent a Uhaul!

I just measured it, and it is just over four feet of actual pseudostem.

Well, the pstem on my V. cohol rotted over the winter in the garage. It looked fine until warmer weather came and then turned brown. This one is quite sensitive to cold, unfortunately. I hope it sends up some pups.
Thanks, Austin. Sorry to hear about yours. This happened to Randy also! At least we are learning more about its needs. I'm sure yours will come back, if the corm is still solid.

I'm sure Jon in San Diego has had one or more flower. Hasn't he had every cultivar ever available in the US at one time or another? LOL! I wish I had that climate, because I would too.

I've had the plant for about a year, and if I told you anything else about it, I would have to kill you.
