To me it seems like when you store corms they take FOREVER to wake up. I put mine back in april and only now are they unfolding leaves. These aren't small plants, these are 6ft+ corms. They did get very dry over winter and i think i probably damaged some of them (some seem to be throwing up only pups).

On the flip side, a pup i potted up last summer, and kept inside the house over the winter, which then went in a small unheated greenhouse this spring (late March where it took nights in the low 20's with just a blanket covering it) is uncurling very large leaves.

I'm thinking this year i toss the big corms and just overwinter pups and greenhouse/plant out.

My guess is that when you keep them growing through the winter, they don't lose those roots and when you give them early heat/water/sunshine (greenhouse) they can just take right back off vs a dormant corm that has to regrow roots/etc...

Am i off here? Not saying there is anything wrong, its just annoying looking at a big dead looking brown stick for 2 months.
