    They do eat them. They make a weight loss product with them.

    I used to keep them in the greenhouse a long time ago but sold all of them as time went along. I will keep these and sell the offspring.

    Happy Birthday, Barb. Enjoy your new bulbs. are they the ones that stink to high heaven? They are beautiful, though.
