Hey, I thought this species were supposed to be easy because you could keep
the medium moist yearround.

Also, has anyone in N.America grown D.alpina? From what I hear, this is a
tuberosity that grows in the mountains and hence its growth periods are
reversed from normal tubers (active in summer & dormant in winter). This
sounds good for N. America.
