Thanks everyone!
Nikkik - it is indeed a monster! But who am I to look a gift monster in the mouth? Mine had two sheaths when it arrived, one bloomed but the other was black and mushy inside
I'm happy to report that it currently has three new growths shooting up, so fingers crossed I'll be able to convince her to bloom for me.

Forgot to add, picked up some more noid's from the big box store (good roots and leaves for $4.98! how could I not?!) and two lovely new species from Ray (
L. purpurata and
P. deliciosa) which seems to happen every time I run out of kelp. I'm sure I could avoid this by buying bigger bottles of kelp, but then I wouldn't have a good excuse to buy extra plants anymore.
