First off, I contacted customer service about this plant (with photo) saying it didn't look much like the plant in the catalog and was refunded my money. Once again, outstanding service from Ecuagenera. The leaves of this plant are stringy, twisted and cupped. Not a very attractive plant. I had hoped that the plant would revitalize with watering but it hasn't. Also the stems are not bulb-like like the D. cuthbertsonii I have. On the other hand, the plant seems to have stabilized and hasn't lost any foliage and, judging by the old bracts, is a good bloomer
