Re: RE: Cult-Colder climates - mother rhizomes

'Mother rhizomes' can do strange things.  Currently I'm watching some old,
rather soft old arilbred rhizomes laying on top of the ground where a drippy
faucet is causing a constant sheen of water.  There are two.  One has two
fans poking up out of the sides, the other has five fans starting to grow.
Essentially they are doing this in what amounts to standing water.  They are
forming incipient roots under the fan growth.  They were discarded as
hopeless on reworking some beds and I just left them where I was washing off
the pieces I kept.  I don't know for sure which varieties they are now,
though there is a limited number of choices.
