this one from Cooley's order of 8/16/07....roots were completely cut off before potting....looks like I need to get out and get them all into the ground soon..I have 50 or more in pots ready to go. I received some small dried up rhizomes in trades, rehydrated them, potted them in 2 in pots, now showing new growth and the pots are filled with roots and ready to go.

I really wish I had potted up all the ones I received this year. Some I have fried because of the hot weather, others I have rotted by watering too much trying to get them established during the dry hot summer
