> Nubbins here are tiny, unsaleable plant-back rhizomes.  They are
the backbone for next year's sales.  They will fatten-up before next 
shipping season but ordinarily don't give spring bloom.  Some 
customers have seen something in them I haven't - telling me they 
got a mother rhizome that failed to bloom.  Yes, I know the 
rhizome failed to bloom, but it is not an 'old momma.'  It just wasn't 
mature enough to bloom in the spring.
