Third time blooming this year. This plant bloomed for the first time ever just a year ago. This is the first time it's had more than one spike at a time - has two with open blooms, and another with buds just emerging from sheath.
This grows like a weed! There are two maturing new growths right now, one developing a sheath. It gets both bifoliate and unifoliate growth - so far it seems that the unifoliate growths spike from sheaths, but the bifoliate growth does not get sheaths before blooming.
Compact rhizome on this one, there's a ton of growths in a four inch pot (tho needs a bigger one), but side to side, this plant takes up 18" on the windowsill. I had been hoping this would remain a rather compact plant, but the new growth this year has been getting very big.
This blooms with only moderate light, and actually burns fairly easily. Mine is growing in a fairly shady west window.
Photos aren't great, and color isn't either - hard to capture the color of this one, especially on a gloomy day. Blooms are facing every which way - I had to turn the plant around as a spike was growing up against the window
Thanks for looking
