You mean the double buds per spike?
I'm not sure if it's in the breeding background or more of a environmental thing, but it has happened on maudiea (alba, vini, and coloratum) types and white complex that bloomed last year. Those same plants did not make double buds again this year.
From pictures I've seen online, some parvis also make double buds, so I don't think it's something that is specific to a certain variety.
I guess it's something that's triggered by environmental cues or just random stuff that kicks in for some reason every now and then. could be wrong.
I just water them and feed them when I remember. bright light. that's about it. they do the rest.
Oh, I also talk to them to do well or they're out.
