Peace Lily Spathe Sketch

This peace lily sits in the bathroom near a large frosted window.  This is the only place I've been able to get it to "flower"; although other peace lily plants I have do so in various locations.  This one has only sent up one flower each the last three years.  Not sure what I'm doing different with this one as my others seem to be more free flowering.

This particular spathe is different from the other two that the plant has produced.  The center or spadix is fuller or larger in diameter.  It's this very green color with longer nubs whereas the others were a cream or yellowish-beige color with shorter nubs and smaller in diameter.  Just seems funny with the dried brown spathe and yet the spadix is still green.

The detailed observation you’ve made about the unique characteristics of this particular spathe is really intriguing. It’s interesting how environmental factors and care routines can affect flowering patterns. For more insight into how long these beautiful plants live, check out this helpful article: Peace Lily. Your observations about the plant’s color differences and growth quirks are a great contribution to understanding its behavior.
