I started with 3 small pea sized tubers but have never had 2 flowers at =
the same time.  I hope to make up for that next year but I will miss the ==
oldest ones.  They were up but froze and without food can't make it for =
another year.
I will miss looking for them in that spot though.

Very long life  Nancy, since the lifetime has been described at 7/8 =
years. 

My short experience with Siko: 

in similar conditions the tubers can flower and grow ( and I got few =
seeds last year ), while other tubers softened and disappeared, 
this  in ground as in pots: no difference between clay and plastic pots: ==
of course with the same mix, and conditions.

With young tuberlets:  the pots I left outside near a pine are showing =
very high rate of seedlings growing in this second cycle, better than =
the tuberlets I digged and stored into the fridge and repotted in March, ==
but some of them are still sprouting...

The other two that have been growing for 15 years are gone.
