My Urn Plant is finally blooming. I used to have a lot of these in another spot in the yard....I threw many in the trash a couple of years ago. This plant is growing in the ground under the very large Jacaranda tree in the front yard. Photo taken Aug. 8, 2011.

This plant tends to multiply very quickly! Also, the snails love to live in the middle of the leaves.

I love these flowers. I should have another go. I had one in the past, thank you for the reminder.

It's a pretty easy plant to grow...as long as it doesn't get too much water. :>)

It looks a bit different than the ones in the florists. Maybe from growing outside? Or is it a different kind?

They pretty much look the same here. I think maybe this photo looks a little dark...as this photo was taking at night.

I was thinking mainly of the shape of the inflorescence.

The inflorescence looks like any other one I've seen blooming in the past.
