    THank you Ron....I've cut one (in sheath too...made me sick) but I don't think I cut it back far enough...its getting worse. (see additional pic). The thing is....I'm in S. FL so it really isn't cold. We have had a few cool days..(50s-70s). We had tons of rain 3-4 weeks ago and I'm thinking the poor thing got waaaay too much.

    Thanks for your help

    cut right into the middle of the p-bulb. If when you cut you see any dark in the center, cut further. It may have been the rain. We train our plants to grow upright...in nature they tend to be at an angle so water does not tend to gather in the growth.

    Good luck with it! Beautiful shade of blue on yours!
