It takes something like a decade to grow the tuber up to the point that the plant blooms and it's a happy accomplishment for the botanist who raises one in a greenhouse. Pretty cool. If I lived closer to one, I'd probably be lining up myself! But yes, at home I think I'd rather do an amaryllis instead. :)
