Thank you.

This particular plant has been a tricotyledon (leaves arranged on a plan of three instead of two) its entire life and it has also sprouted flower buds at the necks of other flowers.

I had initially assumed that being a tricotyledon and having flowers in weird places were related, but now I wonder if bugs chewing on it can cause the flowers to be in weird places. Is that a distortion?

You can see the bud at about 7:00 in the middle of this picture.

By many accounts it is ugly because it is single and small, but I actually like the deep rose color against the creamy white.
Keep going!
