Hey so…Ive gotten a LOT of inflorecense on my philodendrons the last year–particularly my jungle boogie, golden saw, green congo and moonlight, theyre constantly putting them out. But a few months ago I noticed a…unsheethed? (Sounds so dirty…I guess it…literally is sexy) spadix among a group of inflorescense. At first I thought it was maybe a freak mistake and was like "ok whatever" but then it happened on some other plants…I think like 4 times total in the last few months. Theyre weird. And I figured theyd be sterile but…they put out pollen. I cant tell when theyre receptive female wise cause…theres nothing to open. But you can see the 2nd photo, one gave me pollen like a week ago.
Just a curiosity…I figured "I guess this is a thing" and I suppose theres not more to it but..Im curious for any info.
Ive been trying to polinate but…so far no success. Ive only had a few oppurtunities where timing was such that I was even hopeful anyway.

Is it right next to another bloom because I think this is a mutation that happens sometimes when an aroid produces a flower, creating a second inflorescence with no spathe. I see this happen all the time on my calla lily’s
that might be a maturing fertilized flower. might be.
