Hi, Todd. It is a spathe flower much like a Peace lily flower. Just as it begins to turn darker, give it a smell. It has a banana or kiwi smell. I have the portadora and it smells like a mango. Leave them alone and they will form seeds in the lower chamber. The seeds will ripen and pop open. When the seeds turn red-orange, pull them off and drop in the pot or cover them with a light coating of soil. They sprout too easy. Ciao - Terry

COOL - i have seen the flowers on a couple of mine - but never knew that about the smell.

I'm letting the blooms on the portadora go to seed. I'll plant them and maybe we can all have portadora.

YAY for Terry! Put me on the list now! :)
