Its definitely a strange leaf, looking like a flag to me, but a few days should clear things up...I will post a pic when it has emerged further.

Ok, thank you. Just curious, do you (or anyone) know whether the pups typically stop growing too, or is it just the mother that stops putting energy into the pups?

Considering they are attached, it seems to me it could go either way....the pups could continue to do their own thing, or they could put energy back into the mother.....or, I suppose, they could take energy away from her (I've seen a number of threads suggesting only leaving one follower ever for best fruiting....and others that disagree with that position). I've noticed the pups often seem to outpace the mother when no flower is imminent, so it seems like more energy is being put into them. Is that typically the case? If so, does that change once the plant decides to toss a flower?
