They come from high altitude subtropical forests where it is a bit chilly in winter when the bulbs are dormant. That the bulbs are dormant in summer does not seem to follow the natural pattern. They offset well and provided not infected with viruses are extremely long lived if the drainage of the mix is really good. > > Best > Alberto > Buenos Aires" southern Peru to Bolivia."> > Arnold" > _________________________________________________________________ > Descubre Live.com - tu mundo en l?nea reunido: noticias, deportes, el tiempo, y mucho m?s. > http://www.live.com/getstarted/ > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 5 > Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 06:46:59 -0500 > From: "Dell Sherk" <dells@voicenet.com> > Subject: [pbs] Pinellia cordata > To: "Floral Architecture" <floralartistry2000@yahoo.com>, > "'Macfarlane'" <macfarla@almaden.ibm.com>, "'Mark'" > <Antennaria@aol.com>, "Pat Colville" <Pat.Colville@JHResearchUSA.com>, > "PBS list" <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org>, "The Masterson Family" > <masterson4@cox.net>, "'x'" <numida@aol.com> > Message-ID: <20061030114713.972254C00D@lists.ibiblio.org> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Here is some more information on one of the offerings on BX 129: > > > > Small correction - those are tubercles of Pinellia cordata, not seed. > > This species forms little tubers where the leaf / leaf stem meet.
