It is, but strangely enough in my collection the dormancy is quite short and
I keep the tuber in the soil, water carefully and usually it pokes up a leaf
a few weeks later.

Cheers,

Okay thank you :-) How long does it usually take to grow full leaf when it does come back to life? Im asking because sometimes I get cold falls early here and Im worried about the possibility of a short growth season. It is a rather large tuber and Id just hate for it to lose size. It is over 30 cm long. As of now it still hasnt sprouted.
Ive attached a couple photos of the inflorescence for those that are curious. This spp has some unusual and interesting hairs on it.
