healthy roots , cant wait for they to bloom!

I planted 2 turtleheads. First I thought I lost one of them but I learned to be patient and to my delight now they are both thriving.

Seemed to be a viable plant on receipt. Potted it and so far nothing. No greenery has sprouted. Don't know if it is dormant or dead. Won't know until spring I guess.

perfect for my shade bed.
