This clump does not have any "fans". The leaves radiate out from the base.

Just went out again to see. The leaves are fairly stiff and and a bit sharp along the edges.
Like--I would not want to run my fingers up the edges too fast--might get a cut.
There are NO teeth or serration--they just feel a bit sharp.

I parted the clump a bit and took a picture of the base. Seems the leaves all radiate
from a central base. Seemed that this clump may be quite old---as I thought, since
I said I remember planting it a long time ago.

And--the mystery continues....but we shall see next year....

Here is the picture...plus one seed that has fallen down.
