Subject: CULT: Y-Shape Rhizome

Me again, with another transplanting question.  I've noticed a lot of my
rhizomes are Y-Shaped.  They have a long base part, and then two off shoots,
forming the top of the Y.  Foliage is coming off both the top Y parts.
Is the base part what is referred to as the "mother" rhizome, and the top
of the Y, the part that can be replanted?  Is that "mother" rhizome still
good for anything?     	\   /  bloom is here
			 \ /
When dividing these	  |
should I just 		  | "mother" rhizome??
transplant  the top 	  |
part of the Y, what
about "mother"?

Thanks....Lorraine
