Well, this plant surprised me several times in quite a short period of time. First off, I bought this plant in November as a plant with two leads that were connected by the very last p'bulb, so I divided it and potted them separately, with each division's newest lead having a sheath. Other than growing some roots intermittently since then, I was shocked to see a few weeks ago that the larger division had began to grow some buds through the sheath! I could have sat there and watch the buds grow it seemed they grew so fast, and this plant has stole the title of first plant to open a flower without me noticing that it had began to open. I actually startled when I saw its rosy face staring back at me when I went to water it the morning it opened, and the other two buds came shortly behind! Unfortunately, due to our craptastic point and shoot camera, I really didn't give a flying unicorn when taking its picture, and chose the one that was in focus the most, even though the colour is WAAY off, as it is a lot more rosy in real life.
