everything has them. even flowers. this one is called Vampire Lestat. the why of that i do not know. and more over i am not even going to guess. it is supposed to bloom at a height of 31 inches 79 cm with a 9 inch 23 cm flower. i tend to crowd my plants a little too closely. and despite the name this one needs a bit more light so it does not quite reach that height here. and no i do not hear it pining for seymour. the flower sure looks to be the advertised size…

Amazing diversity of colors! Fabulous, regardless of the imaginative naming.
It appears to be making good use of the light it gets.
