They look to me like they have been out of the ground for a while and
may have been a little stressed in the growers garden, but the rhizomes
look plenty strong.

Remember that the roots on the ones on the left will not grow once they
have been out of the ground for very long. The only real purpose they
serve is to hold the rhizome in place and upright while new roots grow
from the little yellow nubs you see on the "chin" of the rhizome.

Be sure to soak them in a 10% clorox bath for at least half an hour to
kill off any disease that may be on the rhizome.
