The inflorescences is 4” – 6” tall. The inflorescence is single flowered and the flower opens as the leaves begin to unfurl giving a good view of the flower. The flower is 3½” – 6” tall. The “flower” is actually a modified inflorescence that consists of the spathe (outer ornamental part) and the spadix (internal sexual bits). In this strain / cultivar the spathe is white with a greenish base and some pink blush.  The internal spadix is tall enough to be seen and is a dark apple green.
