The picture above is my flowering Peperomia orba plant that has been growing along the windowsill since I got it a few months ago. It gets somewhere between four to eight hours of sunlight each day and is labeled as being a Medium Light plant. It seems to be getting the appropriate amount of light and water, and even though the humidity is rather low where it is growing (only 30%) it still seems to be happy.
Until today, I had somehow not noticed that there was an unusual growth on this peperomia orba. I was surprised and immediately researched what the flowers look like for this plant and found out that they "produce greenish-white, panicle-like flower spikes." They aren't the most brilliant flowers to look at, but it's nice to find out that the plant appreciates the growing conditions I have been providing it and hopefully it will continue to grow and flower long into the future.

I had an unknown plant flower like this earlier this week too, come to find out it too is a peperomia. I think they are just ugly.....lol. Nothing beats a "real" flower. These spike-y flowers are just not my thing
I agree. I would rather have a beautiful looking flower...but it still makes me happy to have another "flowering" plant!
I totally agree, an ugly weird flower is better than no flower.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
I happen to love the Peperomia species as a whole & am rather intrigued by their diversity, from terrestrial to epiphytes.
Happy growing!!!
