After many years of trying I finally got it to bloom and this is what I got. NS is 6", the color is pretty good, the form's not bad, but two dents in the pouch and a wonky staminode. It developed a couple sheaths two years ago but one blasted immediately and the other started to develop buds before it blasted. Hopefully it will straighten itself out if I can coax it into blooming again.
One unusual thing I did notice both times that it tried to bloom is that the growth that is about to bloom throws the last leaf with heavy anthocyanin pigmentation on the underside of the leaf before the sheath forms. Non of the other growths show this characteristic. Seems to be indicative of potential bloom.
