>From memory they were all divisions of the same plant. My memory is a
bit hazy as it was a few years ago now and I have moved house since
then so the environment has changed. I do get the occaisional rotted
rhizome these days but only with straggly bits that I knocked off when
repotting and just shove into a pot to see if they grow.
I replaced my S. Purpurea a while back and the current one seems to be
doing ok, it just was disappointing losing a couple of large, mature
plants that I had grown for quite a few years. A well, c'est la vie I
suppose.

"It's fifteen hundred miles to Ankh-Morpork" he said. "We've got three
hundred and sixty three elephants, fifty carts of forage, the monsoon's
about to break and we're wearing ... we're wearing ... sort of things,
like glass, only dark... dark glass things on our eyes..."
