Not uncommon. The extra leaves sometimes get in the way of the develpoing
spike, so Fordyce will pull them off. Isn't harrisoniana now loddigesii?? I
might be mistaken.

Hi, all,

My C. harrisoniana 'Maj' x harrisoniana 'Boa Vista' has developed an
oddity:
one of its latest p-bulbs has *3* leaves. This plant has typically had
two
to a bulb. (And no, the third leaf is not a sheath. Trust me.)

Is this common?
