Barbara it started growing blooms they got out bout 4-5 inch's and stopped. That's how I found it had started to rot. I cut the basal plate down cut bloom stalks off, so no blooms put a mix of root tone and powdered cinnamon on it and am letting it dry a few days then I'm gonna cut the half that's got plate left into propagation pieces. I ordered 5 bulbs and got my money back on all five. This one was supposed to have been a 32cm bulb.
It's still got most of it's plate, can see how that layer is still attached to it.
