It almost looks like a runner...I have been growing val for 10 years, and I have never seen this before... Any help figuring out what it is would be great.

I don't have a camera, just a flip so I posted a video:

Looks Like a reproductive part of the plant. may be the flowering part.

It's a flower stem. Val's are sexed & can reproduce by runners or flowers. The stems can grow REALLY fast, up to 1/2" per HOUR. Male plants have short stalked flowers & female have long. That looks like a female.

Getting the right condition for this to happen must a little hard if he never seen this in 10 years.

Wow I'm excited now! I've never had a plant try to put out a flower before! Thanks for your help!

I came home from church, and it has sent off a second flower runner! Crazy!

It shows your vals really like the tank. It's actually a good thing to have. Enjoy them. They are rather common though, once the vals get established.
