Badseed - I , too, was amazed. I've never seen them this small on any of mine before. It was from abuse and neglect of the ones in the bowl. I collected all those little round tubers over a year ago and just dumped them all in the orange bowl, kept the bowl full of water, and rarely fertilized them. Apparently, that is how the growers do it to get more! LOL! Who'd know about that????!!! LOL!

I know there are some rare teacup varieties. So when I saw all the tiniest ones, I had that very thought! So here you can see I put that idea into action. The challenge will be to see if they bloom. None of the ones in the orange bowl bloomed for me last year at all. But the tubers did multiply! LOL!
