I am a little confused here. By multiple stalks per rhizome I thought we
meant a single rhizome that puts up more than one stalk (not stalk and
branches, but more than one stalk).
Some of the conversation seems to be talking about a rhizome that puts
out several increases in the first year and each of the increases puts
up a bloom stalk.
Which are we talking about? I guess the question is for Clarence since
it was his comment that started this thread.
How do you distinguish multiple stalks from branches that branch out
very
close to the rhizome?
