Re: Titanum in Atlanta

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1998.06.30 at 22:04:59(2387) With this increasing frequency in blooms, I expect to be able to purchase a bouquet of titanums within a few months. Furthermore, I expect to find hybridized versions including doubles & peonie forms. Seriously, what's the natural history of the titanum tuber? I've read here that the leaf cycle is irregular, presumably because these equatorial plants aren't used to seasons. Once the leaf on the FTG tuber runs it's cycle and the tuber is allowed to lay dormant, will the tuber flower again?
