...and a bit more.

If it keeps it up at that rate, we will have that thing blooming before the growing season is up.

You can see in the below pictures, that the basic leaf structure is identical to the ones in C. Spicatus/Scaber.

Here it is from one side...

...and here from the other

It has now been promoted to a place among 'the privileged' in my
window sill "greenhouse" (5th from the left, to the right of the M. Ornata).

There is room for one more on each of the window sills, by squeezing the blinds, but these spots are reserved for the M. Ornata
pup (if it recovers) and the other for the C. Scaber.
BTW I have dug that one out and there is a little green node right down by the rhisome. It was about 2 1/2 inches deep and
looked too weak to make it up from there, so I raised it to a depth of about 1"

There are a few others, mostly Cannas, but they have to make 'do' on an electric throw under a skylight .
