A plant that starts a foot or two off the ground. Peeling off like a daisy, with luscious leaf clusters, turning them upwards for the kiss of the sun.
Each cluster is independent for years. Decorative, with no flowers showing, till a command arrives who knows from whom?
Along the central proboscis starts showing as a long arm raised to the sun.
It is a flower! Which with much energy flowers pathetically. I am not trying to be unkind.
It was not what we expected, a truly spectacular Bloom! Before the whole plant's final withering demise.
