Peduncles on A. consanguineum - to nod or not to nod?

[martin jackson]

Hello,
Would anyone be able to shed light on an anomaly I have spotted with one of my clones of A. consanguineum. My experience of consanguineum fruiting backs up the literature which says this species should have a nodding peduncle. Or did until this year! I have a plant purchased as A. consanguineum "Quinling" a couple of years ago that is developing a healthy infructescense. However it remains resolutely upright. Other consaguineum plants in the garden that are fruiting have nodding peduncles at a similar stage of development. Is this just a late developer or a different plant? The plant has a fairly uniform mid kakhi stem with a slight bloom, approx 72cm tall with 14 leaflets on a single leaf each 23cm by 7cm with an additional 7cm drip tip extension. These are a dark green uniform colour.
Any thoughts or advice?

Martin J
