I think a LOT of us have Wilbert to thank for those . I received the Anchomanes dalzellii and I'm patiently waiting for them to put their little heads above ground. Waiting, Waiting, Waiting.... Last year I received seed from Wilbert of Am. lewallei and I have 4 little plants growing along. One is dormant at the moment and I repotted, finding a tuber about an inch wide with 5 growth points on it. Does anyone know if this is normal for Am. lewallei? There looks like 2 points on the tuber, plus three tiny tubers sitting on the outside, each with a tiny growth point. I haven't messed with the otehrs to check but this was a nice surprise to see it going so well. THANK YOU WILBERT!! Cheers. Paul Tyerman +More Canberra, Australia.
