The originals were planted as a group of 5 bulbs back in the Spring of 2010. These photos are dated June 27th, 2011. Along the way, I've dug many stem bulblets around the sides for give away; even shipped about 20 live single budded offsets to an elderly lady in Tennessee once. And the group of 6 that I gave to an in-law in far southwest Georgia has just finished it's second blooming season and multiplied. The 40 or so I have growing for myself are just beginning to bud.
