I am very pleased with this plant. I grow it as a mount and it has been a pretty easy grower.


the spike is awesome and multi-branched and the flowers are quite long lasting (several weeks fully open)

these are very hard for me to photograph as they are small, numerous and very 3 dimensional.

even took her out of the lath house and still tricky

That's a lot more fun to look at up close bloomwise! Good thing you can grow that beast outside. Wouldn't want to give it shelf room at my place!

this one is not for those of limited space...it made me move three times because it just grew straight up and then launched this rocket...if it starts to grow in many directions i'll need a new plan lol



and i totally agree about the flowers....it looks like a bunch of insects from a few feet away but from a few inches...so cool and intricate

Thanks! I considered that one a while ago. You're convincing me.

It passes my outdoor heat test as I acquired her in 2019 so she had a full Florida summer, for what it is worth ES
