We are lucky enough to have succeeded in keeping this most exotic plant alive in our home for quite a few years 🙂
I’ll include the photos of its maturation.
I hope you like it, have a good weekend!

Beautiful & congratulations on your green thumb.
Not that green… I don’t always have an easy time growing things 😉
I’ve had some victories which I’m praying will go on growing to maturity (as apple trees,kiwis,pomegranates,lemons & litchis) & my share of failure but it’s all part of the game.
The consolation is that next time you’ll have more knowledge hence more success!
Thanks for visiting liking & commenting it’s very much appreciated 🙂
I purchased one of these plants in a Grand Union store 22 years ago and it’s been thriving ever since. Clip the stamen and drop them in the soil to grow new baby. Fed them with Miracle Grow Blossom food and now I have 4 flowers at once! Thank you for the supurb photos and the etymology
Jeanne Poland, who knows the value of daily nurturing!.
Thanks for the tip and for commenting! Will surely try it out 🙂
Another Gem.. We always called these ‘Sail plants’ as the flower reminds us of a Sail.. 🙂 lovely photos.. 🙂
Now that you mention it…yes it does have that shape! Thanks for adding some history to that flower 🙂
simply magnifique… congrats! cheers, Mélanie
Merci beaucoup! I appreciate this kind comment.

I love the ‘spatis’ – I have one but its flowers are smaller and skinnier. Yours is a beauty as are the photos.
