Dear Doug,
Thanks for letting us know---congrats on the present AND the past flowering
of this wonderful marvel of nature!
Good luck on the pollen collection and getting it to Fairchild on time, you
may want to link up w/ Craig on this!!
Sincerely,
Julius

>>Julius, this is our second tuber to bloom. the first one was in July 1999.
I plan to send pollen to Fairchild with the hope it might produce seed
there. I will also refrigerate some for the future?????
thanks, Doug<<
