Sharyn,
Being a commercial garden and growing many tall bearded (800) this is
*not* an uncommon event in my garden. Of course it mainly happens on
large rhizomes and it does look as if individual multiple stalks are
coming from the growing tip of the rhizome. I never thought of them as
really low branchs as Bill Shear mentioned, but perhaps they are. I
welcome them in my business as this produces a better show.
Another instance of where I have seen this happen is in the condition
called "Pineappling". A malady of warmer climates. The fan will begin
to fold and pleat and the flowering stems are short, clubby and
malformed often producing multiple stalks.
