Purchased this plant a few months ago in spike...I was lucky that the spike continued to grow and flower with 5 of these beauties...

Very nice. Was it fragrant?

It's a beauty. Hope I get to see mine blossom but the odds are against it. LOL

Beautiful. Despite these plants become so huge I want one... Do you have a picture from the entire plant? Would love to see it!

Hi Nicole,

I'll try and take a picture of the whole plant later on today...it's rather small compared to some of the other gigantea I've seen.

Thanks, would be great to see it, but don't hurry. Having a flue and won't be online much until I feel a bit better.

Hi Ted,

I tried smelling it the other day and there was a faint smell of fruit loops that I could pick up.
