I bought this plant a couple of years ago on Ebay, thinking that it would be a cool multifloral hybrid. The only picture that I had seen of it looked like a purple Roth, which seemed cool to me at the time :crazy:
Anyway, I couldn't get it to bloom for ages, and it just kept getting bigger and taking up space. Finally, a couple of months ago I noticed what appeared to be a sheath! At this point, I'm not really crazy about the hybrid... but I was pretty excited because I've been trying to get it to bloom for so long.
Then the sheath grew and started to look a lot more like a normal leaf, and I was disappointed, and ignored it for a while. Today, I took a look again and noticed what was coming out of the "sheath"....
It looks a bit wormlike. If you can't tell the scale from the first picture, here's the whole plant in a 5" pot.
Weird, huh?
Anyone else seen this sort of thing?
