I put a cutting in some water, topped it up a few times, and totally forgot about her. About 6 months ago I remembered it's existence, saw the roots took over the bulb, and so I kept topping it. I still forget about it, but it's created its own ecosystem, or terrarium, or something. There are rotting leaves that somehow sprouted from the bottom of the cutting, under water. I have no idea what that cauliflower looking glob is. But she's been flowering all year, and now has 2 blooms. It even goes months without being topped with water. Can anyone tell me why the worst tap water in the world is literally bringing this thing to life?

Edit** it doesn't smell like rot at all. No smell whatsoever!
