Greg We have our 15 yr old plants in a variety of pots. We have not been encouraging full growth because of space constraints and I was frankly caught by surprise when this latest 'little' one bloomed. It defies the conventional wisdom that corms need to reach 30lbs. Many places that use injection fertilization are producing much larger plants, although not necessarily blooming. Also, like most geophytes that I have played with, once you start treating them nicer, they respond and grow; i.e., stunting is not permanent. Paul Paul Licht, Director Univ.
