2007

In 2007 I got a few tubers They were so small that they looked like seeds.	The leaves are slightly velvety.
The largest plant was 26 cm tall with the leaf 11 cm of diameter.
At the end of the season some tubers put up second leaves.	And the plant looked slightly chaotic.

2008

In 2008 it bloomed.	It was 21 cm tall, and the inflorescence was 10 cm from the ground.
It stinked terribly, but only from dawn to noon.
