Hi Bob, I read that somewhere too but, I just got a flag. My normal leaves were almost 48 inches long... then I got a 18 inch leaf. I thought it was the flag. Then I got a 11 inch long leaf... I thought IT was the flag. Then another leaf came out w/ a bulge at the bottom. That leaf is only 4 inches long & the flower is coming out of it. THAT is the flag. Go to 'container forum' & click on last page of "need bigger pot ASAP" & I have pics there. Or, in this forum (main), look at "sick leaf or flag" & you'll see some good pics & info from Tony. Sorry I can't post links to these... my puter sucks.
