The pot is rigid plastic but I don't think it's as large as listed in her book.

This is Butterfly that had two blooms in the basement this spring but afterwards dropped almost all of her leaves and then pouted after I repotted and took her to the hoophouse.

The pot was thick, rigid plastic so one fine day me and 'Bud' decided she got to be a guinea pig and we cut all the holes, packed in some fresh potting mix and buried it on the edge of a center bed. I dump 2 gal of fert mix in the pot two or three times a week I guess. She has leafed out, started branching some more and has started setting buds.

This is 8-Jun... the day of the deed
