This one took a while. Partly because of the recent weather, but mostly because the plant came on a tuber with a second, smaller plant also showing. So, when I potted it, both were removed from the tuber, which is now floating a a bucket with some others, waiting to see if it will start any more plants. I'm thinking it will, if not this year, then next spring.

The large, mottled pad belongs to Arc-en-ciel, not the Double White. The bloom is somewhat small for this plant, but like the other hardies around it, it is being grown in a rather small container. Judging from the growth of the rest, this one should produce about a six inch long tuber by the end of the season, and contribute a nuber of new plants towards next year's inventory.
And in the mean time, I get to enjoy it! Or both, actually. The other plant from that tuber is about to bloom, as well.
