Thanks for your comment. I have never seen one in person. It is a really interesting plant. How long have you had yours?

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

No leaves? Or they come in later after the blooms? Very cool.

From what I have read, it is "near" leafless. Maybe PanamonCreel can provide us with so more information. Thanks for your questions and comment.

Really interesting plant. Fascinating, actually. Thanks for posting it!

Grew mine from a small cutting less than a year ago and had a couple of blooms early on but those came and went one by one. As for leaves, it gets some small leaves on new growth but those don't stay very long.
