There are buds at every leaf joint on each stem. It is just beginning to bloom. But you can see what I mean - if you don't peer down closely you would miss the very exotic blooms of this plant. It even has a homely name. Poor little Toad Lily!
She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways
Beside the springs of Dove
A maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love.
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye
Fair as a star when only one
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!
Wow. Beautiful picture of the Colocasia esculenta 'Black Magic.'
