Mid-Atlantic Gardening: October is Just Beautiful in The Ggarden!, 1 by Gitagal

I have to share an unexpected surprise with you all.

I was taking apart my heavy clay W-Boxes to not leave everything for last minute.

You all already know that these were more full of the Purple Oxalis than any of the flowers I planted there..
My goal was to just trash the remnants of dried up Petunias and yank out the Dusty Millers...
Then--gently--try to remove each clump of the Oxalis so I could re-pot them in separate pots.

So--I proceed to dig up the first clump of the Oxalis from the W-Box. Then--I see these large, fat, opaque
root sections below the clump of the Oxalis. Because I also had some Trailing Vinca Vine in this pot,
I figured these must belong to the Vinca. So--I broke all of them loose and was planning to toss them.

Then--I looked and realized that these were part of the root structure of the Oxalis! Wowsa!!!
I NEVER knew it made anything else but these little, orangy corms!

SO! Now I was more careful with the rest of the clumps (6). If I found one of these fat root modules--
I tried planting it along with the rest of the clump.

All right! Of course I had to take some pictures so you would believe me....
Did anyone else ever find these in the root-clumps of their Purple Oxalis????

These are about 2"-3" long and plump. This is a close-up of a few of them. One actually shows that it is
attached to the base of one of the small, orange corms.
