Um, no I couldn't kill him....his wife might get kinda mad and we are neighbors after all. I didn't even get to hit him....he's older than Methuselah and I usually dont beat up old people. Sooooooooo, its sitting bare root in a pot waiting for a root soak and repotting. For now I am working on saving as many p-bulbs as possible and getting 'chilled out' after all, it will regrow and be pretty again if i'm patient. I also repotted the second one that got knocked out of it's basket, thankfully its doing fine.
As I like to say; 'this too shall pass'.....
