Found as a large root from my garden in 2000, this Virginia
Creeper had been growing up the side of my garage for 30 years
having been planted by previous owners.
Though I
had intended to dig up and throw away the plant, upon discovering
the interesting root shape, I decided to keep it and see if
it would bud out.
Pictured
here in the Winter of 2001, the root successfully recovered
from its rude awakening.
