That's great Barbara! The only drops falling here, are the drops of sweat falling from my head.
I only send out (firm) Mother's if the person wants it/them. Usually the (firm) Mother's are already showing some green nubs, or have tiny increases on them...but not always.
Sometimes, a shriveled rhizome can surprise you. So don't toss them out too early.
