Nice Hap!

Well I thought I had lost my 'Stingray' earlier in the Summer.
After getting it nicely thru the winter in the house a cold snap forced it into dormancy.
I actually thought it had died. It took over 2 months to break dormancy.
Sunday I re-potted 9 pups all about 12" tall w/ nice golf ball sized rhizomes.
There are still about a dozen in the original pot.
This winter they go into the GH! LOL!

'Sarian' is an oddball.
One would assume it would be hard to over-winter up here.
It actually sat in our Living Room all winter and never missed a beat.
While FAR from FL size it is still well over 5' tall now and is adding it's 4th leaf. All in a 5 gallon pot.
It's getting a pot upgrade this weekend.
