The plant is a cross of Yellow Tiger x Wellesleyanum. About 4 months ago a thin, thread-like growth began to emerge from the center of the plant. It is currently about 40 mm long with a diameter of about 1-2 mm. The end is slightly darker and is about 7 mm long with a diameter of 2 mm. It seems to be healthy and is growing slowly. My guess is that this is some kind of mutant flower spike, but I've never seen anything like this before on any of my slippers. Mike
