Only two.  MARTHA MIA and one bought from a questionable source as I.
atropurpurea.  This latter is very onco like, but one stalk had two blooms

I doubt it is pure onco.  Except for SATAN'S MISTRESS which performed
like the TB which has been growing here since before 1950, the rest went
either completely dormant or just showed about an inch of green max in the
center of the fan with no new growth.  I have not watered them any for fear
of causing rot!

Perhaps I should pull the two dormant ones before adding any water?
