    Default OK, I'm calling it....

    I say it is officially a spike.

    Wanna guess what it is?

    Guess the genus get 5 points.
    Guess the species get 10 points.

    Points are worth, well, bragging rights.

    With the bract in a bract like it has, gotta be a cochlopetalum. The blueish color suggests moq or glauc!

    Stop asking questions, Tim! Lien's answer freaked me out more than the fact he guessed it!
