| Do you protect those or dig them up? How did the others do their first year? I would think that a first year plant would be far behind a mature one even bulbs and corms. But why is one leaf different than the other? Where did you get this EE, could it be that they took it from the wild? Whatever you decide, you still have a nice looking plant. Just alittle bit smaller! |

| The big one I dug up-little guy is new. They were both purchased a year apart but from The smaller plants leaf structure looks more |

From digging it up to the process of what you did to keep it alive over the winter. |

| As you mentioned-dug it up and potted it. One thing I did with the Borneo giant and Thai giant(and Bananas They were both grown inside in front of a west window- One thing I will tell you about Thai giant is that they do I don't believe these are a bog plant like regular EE's Borneo giant is next to it-basically the Borneo giant rotted away all |
