Beautiful festive colors. The flower have just opened = it will flatten and get bigger some....don't cut the spikes unless it dries out and browns....there will be more flowers on the same spike now that it has started to bloom.

It looks so much like a butterfly you would almost expect it to dance.

Good thing that 2nd spike is on the way!

Hopefully you two are still on speaking terms

It's just a flower, anyway...there will be more

Don't cut the broken spike back...it might branch. I've had it happen. It took a few months but it did branch and then kept right on going as if nothing had happened.
