Here's a picture of an orienpet ('Touching') that I planted in a 1-gallon pot in December. It's not the best shot of the flower but shows it growing in the black pot next to our birdbath on the back deck. This one had two beautiful long-lived blooms in June (when this picture was taken), but the number should increase every year. I tend to lose history of most of my plants (altho my DG Journal is helping now), but I know that I bought these bulbs/tubers from Brent and Beckys on the last day of their end-of-season sale, first week of December. For those of us lucky enough to still be able to plant in December, this is an incredibly easy and inexpensive way to get these beauties, as long as you're willing to take the varieties that are still in stock (75% off I think!).
I'll post another shot (closeup) to show you how lovely this one is.
