A neo bloom, a neo leaf or both?

Neo. benihichou is one confused plant.

I think Naoki mentioned last blooming season that the bloom probably thought it was a leaf?

When the nub for this spike started to develop, i thought it was going to be a new growth. I was wrong..

How interesting, or rather bizarre!
Neos are always capable of changing into something. haha

Mods - I put this in the wrong section......Can it be moved to the "non-slipper photos" section?

Love the progression photos. The way the spike and bloom
unfolds is magical and it fooled you! Outstanding!
