Hey mama, I got everyone listed so far. Doris went in then back out so we have 9 so far competing for this gorgeous Amorph.
Little info for anyone who wants it, This plant is hardy outside to zone 6 but if you want it and no where to put a huge pot to overwinter inside, you just take it out of the pot in fall and wipe it off, lay it in a window sill and forget it. In the spring when frost is all gone, re-pot it and it will take off again. My grandma, kept hers that way till she found out it would live outside. In the winter it looked like a snake in the window. Great conversation piece. Some people take the bulb out and clean it off and let it dry and store in sawdust over winter, so there are ways to keep it without taking a lot of space, and not having to drag big pots inside for winter.
I have quite a collection now and still looking for the A. Prainii. Just got to find it to complete my collection.
Try one, and you just might get hooked like I did.

I just put mine in the greenhouse with all the other stuff, but not this year, they will be going to nice new homes. They were blooming but they finished already.
They look pitiful in the pictures, it is so hot and dry, they need a drink of water. The morning glory vines are running all over them too. They don't have a chance where they are. Got another little surprise too. After this contest, there will be another somewhere and this will be a prize with another thing. (More on that later.)
