i must be doing something right ....(at last)

Great link, Windy - have saved it for reference..... Good luck everyone in monster growing! :D

 

Hi Steve

Am I too late for one of you bulb thingies? let me know & I'll pm my address.

Thanks

 

According to that link - and it sure looks like your plant, Steve, once it flowers it dies - so make sure you keep some of those bulbils for yourself!! :rolleyes:

 

Does it die, or does it grow suckers?

 

says it throws out these bulbils that grow round the dead parent, or some such words - it's monocarpic

 

Oh, right.

 

Still unsure whether the plant on the link is Steves monster. It says they flower after 10-15years, Steves took 4 :eek: So either I've got the wrong plant or Steves a blooming genius :D

 

Well done that lady. i am convinced windy's link is what ive got!!...I have another yet un flowered one. I read the 10 15 year thing also..... I'm a blooming genies arse like windy said. Honey bee id be delighted to send you some bulbils. My plan to spread these beauties far and wide is taking shape . soon we will take over the world!!!!!!!

 

Bow down and grovel to the blooming genius :D :D
I'm anxiously awaiting the postie with my babies. Wish he'd get a move on!

 

Hi,just come across this thread, fabulous plant Steve and looks very like the one at Tresco. i would be very happy to help with your world domination and would love a bulbil! Well bloomin done!

 

All must take care - have you not seen the 'Little Shop of Horrors'......................

 

obviously Windy has..... :rolleyes:

 

:D :D It's BMs emerging Banana flowers that always remind me of 'Little Shop of Horrors' :D
Well Mr Postie didn't deliver the goods on Saturday, so hopefully today........

 

Your postie must have been leaning against a hay stack chewing a long piece of grass and drinking scrumpy windy!!! they def left in fridays post 1st class.....unless the envelope was 0.0003 mm too wide for the new postal cost thing and they relegated it to 2nd class!!!!! has anyone who gave their addresses to me got their babies yet???? come on lets get our global domination plans into action

 

The battalion have now arrived Commander :D :D
Let world domination begin!! :D
Potted some and left some to dry out a bit on the kitchen windowledge. That Tresco link said the plants throw 'em off, so figured they might need drying out a bit first???
OOh!! Can't wait
Of course the Stella and cream tea are on me
Oh the envelope had a sticker on saying "this item has been underpaid" so think they must have come 2nd class
