who knew!

Pin It now!

Came as a complete surprise several mornings back. Noticed this flower hidden among the now fairly dense foliage of our potted snake plant. I first shared a pic of the 'new' plant here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/09/balcony-diary.html

I took this pic on 30th June and it is still very much in bloom today. 

When I moved some leaves aside there are 2 more flower buds slowly waiting to bloom. They look just like a new leaf, rolled. However the bud is whiter and has more body to it, unlike the unopened leaf which is a hollow cylinder and has more green in it. These 2 buds haven't blossomed yet. Nature sure has a slow pace at times.

    1. Luckily it is thriving in my balcony, Anetta 😃 The second flower also bloomed a couple of days back - even prettier than this one.

  3. Interesting! I've never seen this kind of flower. It does look a bit like a leaf, indeed. Does it have any scent?
