SarahB	Three years ago my mum was given two tubers that were brought back from Russia, they were only as big as an anenome - she planted them and low and behold over a few weeks a 'mini tree' grew. It was about two foot high. At the end of the summer it began to look sorry for itself and she put it in the greenhouse. The next summer it appear again - this time with three new 'trees' - the largest got to about three foot. This year there were about nine - the largest of which was nearly four foot tall - and the tuber so large that she had to repot it. We have been looking to find out what it was and have been saddened to find that it produced no flowers .... Until we had it confirmed by Kew gardens that it is a titum lily (now we are glad it is never going to produce flowers!	1/22/2006
