You (and others) keep referring to: "the typical wiry stem". I have been
unable to get a picture of this plant. It sounds very intriguing. Are the
leaves on the stem very different from the ground rosette? I assume that it
blooms from the stem. Or is that the natural mature habit of the plant and
it blooms from the rosette?
