Thanks Ron & Christopher.  So, dry it will be.   Yes, I'll have no
difficulty keeping it in those conditions.  While still here on Long
Island, I will have my 2nd floor greenhouse which will be kept roughly
70 over the winter.  I'll just keep it on a shelf away from areas that
are watered.

I should have taken close-up photos, but did not expect the premature
collapse.  What I recall was the brilliant vermilion color where the
leaflet attached to the petiole.  I've seen that same vermilion in some
(and only some) of the available Google images.  I'm assuming that will
be controllable by the amount of sun I give it next growing season.  The
color contrast in the leaflet and marbleized petiole may be what made
"Mary Jane" an appropriate nick name.
