Oh my gosh, are my eyes deceiving me? A flower from a 3-leaved single growth plant?

The flower has very nice coloring for atratum esp the dorsal spotting.

But to keep the plant alive 'longer', I would remove flower and put in a vase to enjoy and let the plant conserve energy to start a new growth.

Leslie, you are as (almost) always right! My only excuse for having parked my head under my arm might be the prolonged consequences of the covid-infection on my cognitive abilities! Thank you for providing support for my slightly impaired executive functions (lack of oversight, faulty planning, etc.) - it's nice to have "Somebody to Lean On"! :)

These were my thoughts too when I saw the photo. The plant is tiny and has produced nonetheless such a lovely flower. I hope you enjoy this flower in a vase as well as I enjoy it on your photo. Good luck and hopefully the plant gets the curve (survives).

I have these 3 multigrowths atratums that are not showing buds at all. The could learn a few things from yours! Please lecture them for me?
