Thanks, Kent and Arlyn, I did not know that the mother rhizomes die after the bloom and make babies. I can see now that is what happened. I cleaned them all up and cut out the soft, mushy parts and it was like that where the bloom had been last year. How long will I be able to keep them out of dirt? I cleaned up my garden area today where I want to plant them but I did not get them put in today. Should I soak them in water before I plant them? Thanks for any help you can give me.
