I never measured the size of the last leaf that came before the pre and flower. The plant that it came from was smaller in all ways to the others in it's mat and I can't be positive but, I think it was even a year younger than the bigger ones. so I see this flower as odd, abbynormal. I have another mat with all shoots and leaves as much taller, longer,wider, larger and olderAnd no flower

more red than orange I thought, the colder temp may have helped with the deeper dark colors.

Seems there is some life in it yet, thought with the leaves all beat up like that I wonder if I should cut it down. It is still connected to the corm and about 5 other stems cut off and covered up. then again it's supposed to be warm for the next few days

I have the same plant in coastal virginia. I cut the flowers and fruit at the base, near the trunk, stuck them in a very sunny window with water in hopes the fruit will ripen. Wonder what will happen!

Fruit has to be close to full size and removed and bring it inside in hopes it will ripen. Put the flower stem in water will help it rot faster. It's not gOing to intake any water like some flowers do when cut.
