Tuber shipping

From: "Carlo A. Balistrieri" <cabalist at facstaff.wisc.edu> on 1997.02.14 at 03:48:54(354) While the irony was not lost on me my wife failed to see the humor in receiving Amorphophallus tubers, including one with five inches worth of inflorescence, the day before Valentine's day. I won't take the fun any further than this BUT did want to let everyone know that, if appropriate care is taken, tubers can be shipped even if coming out of dormancy. There appears to be no mechanical or cold damage (although they will have to be bloomed indoors as it is a bit colder here than from whence they came!). Thanks again to the fellow lister who shared these, even if it was in desparation at not wanting them blooming again in his basement. Carlo +More Carlo A. Balistrieri, J.D.
