I guess this could be my Halloween surprise, since it wasn't supposed to bloom, I thought. The sheath on this growth never got very big, and dried out last spring, so I removed it. I totally forgot about it till about a month ago, when I noticed what looked like a bud emerging. This is what happened. Not the best flower, but it's a flower, so I'll take it. The color is kind of nice, too.
