There are a couple of wiki photos (which are not ideal for explaining this point). In the Cosmos one the stem is at the top right (you plant stuff the same way it came out of the ground). The Dahlia photo is of the 'eye' or new shoot at the top of the bunch of tubers. > >http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… >http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… > >David Pilling > > >
