So you've got 5 months out of them so far then?  I was actually wondering
whether with ideal conditions they can actually skip a dormancy and keep =on
going.  My A. speciosum have tubers bigger than a pea already (or at leas=t
the one that I can see at the surface) but I'd imagine the tuber size wou=ld
depend on the size of the mature tubers anyway.  I'd imagine that A.
candidissimum would grow pretty quickly given how large the tubers end up=?

Thanks for the responses.  If anyone else has more experiences I'd still
love to hear from you.  Trying to gradually get some information together.

Thanks again.

Cheers.
