Angel Wings question! I’ve been growing a lot of angel wings (caladium) as they are my new favorite. I thought one stem/leaf was growing mutated so I “helped” the leaf open but it’s not a leaf! I don’t know what it is, a flower? I feel bad I opened it early. It has yellow powdery stuff (pollen?). Also, why did this grow? This has never happened. I grow these from bulbs I buy online. Thanks.

    It is a flower. It flowered when the plant is healthy and happy. 😁 Those bumps is where the seeds form.

      I think I killed it by opening it myself. It’s brown now. Didn’t know they could flower. I’ve grown many from bulbs and this has never happened. Thanks for responding!

    It’s trial and error with plants. Things you’ve done for years triggers new behaviors.
