They become more ruffled as they get older, and don't build too much
expectations while waiting for the flowers - they are barely noticeable.
One of my seedlings from the same batch distributed by Dewey has put up
two inflorescences about a month ago. I snapped some photos to document
this event (and, incidentally, an increase in the leaf ruffliness :-) -
they can be seen at:
