Capanemia uliginosa has a spike!
 I got this little plant from Andy's at the Tamiami show. It is sending out a spike and it looks like it will have multiple flowers. Sadly, I am leaving tomorrow for a week and I might miss the blooming.  Here is a picture of the spike and plant. I will post a pic of the blooms (if possible) when I get back.
It is a tiny one. The longest leaf is not quite 4" and the spike is only 1". It looks like about 10 buds forming so far! |

Good job, Susan! That should be really nice. I have had one of these for about a year now and it is showing new growth. Started a spike about two months ago but that seems to have stalled. I'll look forward to your pictures!

Ok, it bloomed! It is teeny tiny and very hard to take a picture of with my camera. The longest leaf is 4" and the spike is only 1.5" but it still managed to have about 8 flowers!  |

It looks great, Susie! 
Isn't the fragrance surprising, coming from such a tiny little bloom? 
It is now known as Capanemia superflua...I got one this week and just LOVE it!

It's such a beautiful little gal. I'm happy to hear the name was changed, I couldn't help but think, what a horrible name for such a pretty plant.

Hi Susan
Your last photo is amazing.
I too bought one from Andy's about 6 weeks ago and to my surprise it developed a few flower spikes. You inspired me to try to take some pictures. What a challenge!
