GH, I dig mine and store mine winter over in the basement. The big one may bloom for you.... I plant mine after they bloom and the stem dries a bit so I can pull it off. It does have to do with size and age for blooms. I think the small ones will bloom in a couple growing seasons. I'm no expert, my uncle gave me 2 a few years ago. They are very interesting and unusual. I love the tree like look of it and the nice canopy they have. I'm posting a picture (taken a couple years ago) of the stinky bloom, which usually comes anywhere from March to the end of April into May. The tuber was about 10 - 12 inches across that year. Last year the tubers split and now I have something that looks like what you have, weird, huh? I did plant in pots last year,... wonder if that had something to do with them splitting? The first couple years I planted directly into the ground.... I love em, no matter.
