Hey Y'all.

I need some help.  Today I received a ciliatum var. liubaense =
purchased through ebay.  To my horror, what I received is an actively =
growing tuber that has been decapitated.  The soil was washed from its =
roots, and the cut pseudostem is still fresh.  I have no idea where in =
the growth cycle the plant is, but I'll obviously not see anything out =
of this plant until next spring assuming it can take this kind of =
treatment.

I've never received or done something like this to an Arisaema.  =
Needless to say, if I had known I'd be receiving something like this I =
would have never bid on it.  Do I plant it and hold my breath until next ==
spring (which really hacks me off) or return it?  I can't imagine this =
being a good way to send any tuber or bulb, is it a goner?

Thanks,

Russell
