Default Pre Flag Leaf

Looks like we will get at least one more Orinoco bunch this year. The last five leaves were slightly reduced in size and a couple of days ago a 2' leaf unfurled.

I just hope mine doesn't try to do this in a few weeks cause it's getting chopped back so that it'll fit back indoors for fall!

I know what you mean, it is kind of bitter sweet getting a flag so late.
