I am surprised, proud and happy
The flower stalk is very young. It will grow straight to the sky...
I never saw one in nature this was sent to me by a friend.

these long spals on the base of the stem are the latest leaves produced.
The flower stalk carries them along
Ohhhh.. so many flowers, seeds and dream are about happening
Unlike Dyckias, Encholiriuns produce central and terminal flower stems. When blooming, the whole plant lengthens, stretches and carries on the floral stem the last leaves produced, making them into basal sepals, those well elongated at the base of the stem. The floral sepals are now thickened forming the stem head. Soon each will have a flower to show. In Encholiriuns, floral stems do not produce branches.

The plant is a luxury, it looks like a robust Dyckia goehringii.
