I have never seen one of those Medieval torture devices. I may have to make one...thank you for the idea.
To be honest, the flowers are somewhat unattractive, but only insofar as a flower can be. Bright yellowish orange with deep purplish maroon spots, but the purplish and yellow don't go together. I don't remember why I bought this particular plant but at this point it has something like 10-12 leaves and blooms at least twice every year.
A couple times I just cut the flower spikes off, but I realized that doing probably causes more to come out simultaneously later (such as now, I have the beginnings of 2 at the same time).
