I went to a local nursery today and found this 12" BOP for 98 cents. It was in a 1 gallon pot with weeds growing all around it. I have never grown this plant before, but it looks strange when compared to pictures I've seen of them. In particular, the orange parts of the bloom are emerging from the green sheath pictured above. Also growing out of the green portion is what appears to be a second bloom (redish sheath). I found this picture while looking around at pictures of this plant.

This small plant also has another bloom emerging below and to the left of the other one. Is it unusual to have two blooms on such a small scraggly BOP? And is the bloom at top 'normal'?
