You can see in the first picture the entire clump, with the original tuber to the right and one tuber down. The stamped name is showing. I see the collar below the stem, then this thing that doesn't look like a tuber, then five or six tubers growing from that. #2 shows the original tuber more clearly and more tubers growing the from the collar immediately under the stem. #3 shows the back side of the clump. #4 shows another strange thing growing below the stem with several tubers growing from that. Should I assume that the strange growths immediately beneath the stem and collar are an extension of the collar and that pieces of it might contain eyes for the tubers growing from it.? Or is it only the tubers growing from the collar immediately beneath the stem that are worth saving. Thanks for any insight. |
