They were beautiful, easy-to-grow little plants, mature and in bloom. Keep them warm, fertilize from time to time. They grow well in a well-draining 'jungle mix'. Cheers, Julius

From: Riley2362 at aol.com on 1999.10.02 at 04:06:09(3680) Hey TY, I can't believe you are asking about this plant - I just saw and photographed it for the first time in the Uppsala Botanical Garden in Sweden - last week. The photos aren't even developed yet. It was love at first sight and I begged and begged and begged for a piece of the plant. The only had a perfectly grown specimen in a four inch pot. The curator said it was a favorite of the researchers and although she investigated the plant thoroughly, she couldn't see a way to remove any piece of it. It was only about six inches tall with about a dozen white blooms - absolutely adorable (is that a word for a houseplant?). Now, how do you know of it's existence - and where the heck can we get one??? Cheers - Michael

(Wilbert??) There are a few not-normal, rough, necrotic-looking areas on the otherwise large and healthy looking tuber. Thanks, Julius
