All that for that tiny little plant?

It's making very sure it's not going to run out of water, isn't it?

WOW! With a tuberous tap root like that, it looks like it could survive without water for a year or more!

I think an opaque vase might be the way to go!

LOL! It's actually pretty tiny....from head to toe, about 4" long. I potted it up in a 4" tall pot, so the roots are just a bit above the bottom...hopefully it will be happy for this year!

Bill in SC, it's from Mesa Garden.
