Re: pup size
I have seen varieties that had no roots on a two foot tall pup, and one inch tall pups that had corms 5 inches in diameter with 18 inch roots. Each variety has its' own characteristics. It does seem that pups that poke out in the fall, and don't grow taller over the winter are actually developing bigger corms and are much readier to be separated. Faster growing spring pups seem to develop less corm and roots for their height. I am sure that is an over-simplification.
