Paul, big CONGRATS on your Silver Medal! Isn't that one awarded to you personally rather than winning it for showing a particular variety?
And Tom, I sure hope VOLCANIC GLOW does well for my sister because it was the smallest rhizome ever sent to me by Keith Keppel. It is growing OK in a pot for now, but it might be a little more sensitive than I'd like. My sister's climate is not as hot as ours by about 5 degrees in the summer, though, so hopefully it won't be as stressed.
