First, a short story. When I bought this plant, it was supposed to be a
2 growth plant. When I got it, it seemed to actually be two single
growth plants. They were only connected because their roots were tangled.
I got them apart and potted up each in its own pot. I wondered if they
had once been the same plant or if there were 2 different seedlings.
The first one bloomed about a year and a half ago. The second one is in
bloom now. I am now convinced that they are the exact same plant. The
flowers are identical. The other bit of evidence is that they both did
the same odd thing when they bloomed. They first put up a single flower
with nearly no stem and that one flower was flattened and deformed. you
can see the short stem in these pictures, right next to the flowering
spike. The only stem the first flower had was the part that would have
turned into the seed capsule, if it had been pollinated.
As soon as that first flower faded, a second spike emerged from the same
growth and had normal flowers, as seen in these pictures.
