perennial resilience

remember the stolon i stuck in a plastic flower pot buried in a garden bed to establish a portable daughter plant? and the fully rooted plant in a pot i dug up ten days ago? ( first photo ) well..that daughter plant is putting on a display of perennial resilience that defines why perennials can be very invasive ( something we will be seeing on the garden blog with chinese yams, walking onions, and the relentless jerusalem artichokes...but that is a different blog )..in ten days it has produced more leaves, a startlingly red berry, and a stolon about eight inches long looking for a place to root...i am tempted to produce another plastic flower pot and extend the experiment...we will see... i will talk it over with Jean and ponder her input.
