Also this really surprised me, sheath was dormant for what felt like forever, last weekend no sign of eruption of sheath, this weekend flowers!

Great flowers. Purpuratas can sit in sheath for long periods of time.

Very dramatic!
I want to have a collection of L. purpurata, but they just get huge!
Oh, well...
