They are mostly died back for the winter. I collected the fruits last week (one was starting to dehisce). I'll try the cardboard propagation.

After the leaves died back last fall, I have forgotten to put them to a cooler area (40F garage). So one of the plants (the shorter, darker colored one) started to grow in the middle of winter. I moved them to the garage (40F) when the new growth was about 1.5-2cm. Fortunately, it went back to dormancy, and it resumed the growth when I brought them inside on April 14, 2018. I'm guessing that the plant is shorter because of this screw up. But both plants have more flowers. But only the paler one made 1 additional growth. The darker colored one seems to be making huge flowers compared to last year. Especially the flower at the bottom has the lip twice the size of the others. Interesting...
