A few hours later, as I was going to bed, it opened up!
I know almost nothing about Tillies. I didn't know that some only produce single blooms like this. I thought the red thing was a sheath/bract for a spike. And I swear it wasn't there two days ago! Anyway, the way it bloomed helped me identify it as NoID resembling an andreana, a near relative or a hybrid of.
OCD induced insomnia is gonna make today very long!

I am not being argumentative. I am correcting you!
Enjoy the bloom show! Hope it makes new pups after it blooms! The thing with tillys, it is a bittersweet show, the start of the end. But if it makes some pups/offsets life goes on.
