+==== Large flowers ====
+It has unusual, very large inflorescences, up to 11 - 19 inches in diameter. Every single flower has an over 11 inches long, filamentous, ribbon-like after-flower leaf. Above the inflorescence, there are two large inflorescences that look like the outstretched wings of a bat. The flowers can last for 6 weeks, giving off a delicate, pleasant fragrance.
