I did not expect, Surprise, surprise...

I was not expecting anything. I threw in a piece of turmeric (curcuma longa) root into a pot and it started growing. I noticed after about three months that the pot had broken on its side.



I decided to pull out the plant with 4 or 5 shoots. The plant neither had flowers nor did the leaves resemble anything like I have seen in Wikipedia shown here.


To my great surprise, I saw a large number of turmeric tubers when I pulled out the plants.



I took out all the tubers and replanted in a larger pot with the shoots sticking out. I am sure they will regrow.
