WHOA! Granted I am a novice by comparison, but in all the threads on
growth habits etc, I don't remember ever hearing about multiple stalks
out of a single rhizome. Clarence I don't doubt your veracity, but does
this happen often? Do both stalks grow at the same time or follow one
another. Has it happened on many CVs.
