    It looks like a sea animal. That is cool. Does it have many flowers at once?

    it often has 2 flowers at the same time and i just caught the second one, but there is more spikes hanging down in a zigzagging shape and they produce flowers every now and then.

    even nature has its mysteries, so much work for only two days!

    then, it deserves someone who looks much time to it. It is quite exotic. cool
