That set me in mind of a magician pulling a bunch of flowers from his (or her) sleeve ... or some sort of marine tube worm putting out its tenticles to feed. Very nice slow reveal photos :)

How many days did it take to bloom, Andrew? It's a lovely plant. I know it takes up a lot of room, though. :-)))
