ridesredmule, I think that is a venosum sauromatum??? I love those, so pretty and different than other leaves in the garden...I had 2, over 5yr old bulbs.. I only found 5 or 6 tiny ones... the bulbs remind me of black walnuts... I think the "mama" ones rotted as they are the first to go dormant for me and I had them in with the atroviridis (lesson learned, plant them by themselves) I usually turn the pot on its side when they start going yellow...Oh, well, I have the lil ones... So here's what I found under the soil w/ the atroviridis..it appears to be one big bulb mass.. the original bulb was more cylindrical shaped, not roundish like the konjacs.
