Watch this space!

Waiting for it to flower has been glacially slow because it has been so cold. We still have the central heating on in the middle of May! Piccie taken with Coke can for size comparison. We will get a summer, won't we?

 

I have the wood burner going every night still. Ridiculous

That is a brute

I've given up on that idea now. I wish that I'd grown more winter blooming Salvia now.

 

You missed it. Summer shot past, on it's way south, back in March.

 

Still heading east and looking very threatening.

 

Day of the triffids?

 

That's really impressive Kindredspirit

 

Fantastic!

 

It's reached its final length, over 9 feet long with a stem circumference of 9" at the bottom. (and there I was, hoping it would get bigger and gobble up all the neighbours!)
It must be some weight for the plant to support, particularly as it's hanging out sideways instead of straight up.

 

It looks fantastic Kindredspirit!

 

Will the flowers open up further?

(Maybe it is sideways from too much sugar...that can of coke!)

 

I've been told that apparently the flowers don't open any further. :(

It's a very much "in your face" plant in the garden, though.

 

Fantastic

 

...Amazing Kindred
