[PHOTO] Unusual rhizome


A bit of mild spring weather is allowing me to do some transplanting so I thought I'd post an image of one of 2 unusual seedlings...
 
I'm hoping that anyone familiar with a wide variety of SDBs and MDBs will be able to offer some feedback about whether they've seen this style of increase before.
 
Both seedlings are growing in a level area, BTW, not on a slope as the rhizome would suggest. Of the 2, the form of this one is a bit more pronounced. New increases are connected to the older rhizome by a "neck" before widening into a 1/2" to 5/8" wide rhizome. Clumps are tightly packed and increase is up as well as out.
 
I'd appreciate any insights.
 
Thanks,
Christy
