There is a classic book called "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds." The first chapter is devoted to the Dutch tulip mania of the early seventeenth century. Tulips were in demand, but things went crazy and tulips were selling for astronomical prices!

There is one story of a poor sailor visiting someone's home. When he awoke the next morning there was a great confrontation going on over a missing tulip. Seems he mistook a bulb worth thousands for an onion and ATE it before going to sleep.

He spent the next several years in jail for the "theft."

Please don't put your doggie into jail! He just thought it was a treater!

LOL samantha!! Sorry for laughing, but it IS funny!! I'm sure it tasted good. The native american's ate all parts of it.
You're lucky that it might still survive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
My dog loves chewing the dried pods. :(

Maybe you can make a circle out of chicken wire to protect your pot, until it grows up.
Good luck! And have fun with the puppy too!

No jail for the dog, just a stern reprimand. Luckily she's too cute to stay mad at for long.

It is pretty funny...irritating, but funny! I told my husband it was a delicacy. :)

We are taking protective measures from now on, that's for sure!
