crowrita1 said:Once, quite some time ago (which is probably why I don't remember all the details) I read an article ( I *think* it was by Chuck Chapman) concerning "how many leaves have to grow, before a rhizome developes a "blooming point" , and makes a stalk." It was the writers contention (and I think there were some pictures , to illustrate the "scars") that, by counting the "leaf scars" (those little "lines you see along the length of the rhizome) you could tell "when" the rhizome was likely to bloom. In other words....a rhizome has to grow "X" number of leaves, before it will ever bloom. So, does anybody else remember this article, or , have you ever heard this before ? I'd love to "revisit" the information. It may have been on Facebook, or, in an AIS bulletin....probably 4-5 years ago............thanks
