I hope the photos will be posted again - the collarette one that I liked and the very dark ones, too.

WF...if that tuber on the left hand side is attached to the bottom of where the main stem was (you with me!)...which is where it will shoot from, you might be ok....its what they call a "chicken leg" in dahlia terms.....some growers use this method for propagation....Have I got that right Tel?

Hi WF - it's a bit difficult to see how the eyes, or growing points, are, but the tuber looks OK, the tuber itself is firm?

I find Dark Angels is a bit lazy when it comes to producing its tuber too, but such a great little display on the patio in a nice tub!

Yes it is Lou, 'chicken leg' is very popular in the USA, not the KFC kind either ;D

I'm still not sure where I'm suposed to be looking for eyes. Do either of these photos help?
