Rick, that's very kind of you, thanks. Sarian in the living room, must be a sight. I have a dwarf Cavendish and Z. aethiopica 'White Giant' but Sarian must be a whole 'nother level of space hog.
I'm hoping this year or next the WG, as well as Mojito and Thai Giant will be big enough to o/w as dry corms. I noticed the Xanths I picked up at the Spanish market were 2 to 4 weeks later than the Colo in breaking dormancy. Plus 1/4 of them rotted in the ground. I'm guessing starting mid-June would work better? Maybe use a mostly soil-less medium or toss in a bunch of crushed branches?
FB is a real B Susan. Are you over wintering as dry tubers? The whole idea of super foliage color with ease of o/w is exiting.

Anna, what's Polly?
Evan
