Yes -- a helluvalotta luck! -- But seriously, I think we'll all be
quite interested in how your experiment turns out. Since you have so
many, have you thought of giving some of them different treatment than
the others -- i.e., varying degrees of moisture, temperature, etc.?
Assuming they are potted, perhaps some might be exposed to the winter
outdoors?
