July of 2010 I received some pups from Hydroid. Actually I receieved a forrest of Bananas from him. Anyway I planted this mat thinking that it would be more of an ornamental and would split my driveway. The planting hole was large and well ammended with compost. It has received very little care since then and has done what I wanted it to do. It is in fairly deep shade and I'm not sure if it every gets direct sunlight. The mat is less than four feet tall. Last week I noticed a half leaf which was followed by the flag and now the bloom is making an appearance. What do you think it is?
