Good reminder. 

The seeds I went to so much trouble and expense to send to another hobbyist, I am certain, will not be invasive. In fact this year was the first time in 20 years of having the plant that I got seeds at all, and only a very few. Also in those 20 years my two bulbs have never offset. The species nearly went extinct and in all my years of growing plants, I’ve never seen seeds of this species offered anywhere at any price, and only once have I seen bulbs offered in Japan.
