Great growing Charles!

I assume the Hippo is there to allow us to accurately judge the size of this beauty.

Absolutely amazing! Does it need a guard dog?

Beautiful! Would love to know what you have it potted in? Can't see if its a pot or basket. Can you move it around?

Stunning, I would love to grow something that big that would not need to be moved or repotted. Great job!

Thanks everyone.Its in a fairly large clay pot.It was in red lava rock,but it started to break-up and it clogged the the whole at the bottom and it almost drowned.But we caught it and now its in medium river rock.Its about 5 feet wide and about 4 1/2 feet tall.Last year after it finished blooming I cut off almost 230 flower stems.It gets filtered light thru out the day,water twice a week in the warmer months and maybe once every other week in the fall and winter.

I'll see if I can take a better photo.My regular camera is being cleaned.

Awesome! 21 yrs, mind-boggling. When I see plants like this I'm just astounded. I've seen other postings from forum members. Some incredible growers on this forum. Such a privilege to be learning from you as you share your knowledge.

WOw! What a lovely clump "o" flowers! Nice specimen.

Seen how big this was, a few years ago, when you posted a pic, "hiding" behind it.

Gorgeous!

That is truly stunningly amazing!! Wow.

Thanks all.But a little confused the blooms are not lasting long.They are starting to drop already and its not even 2 weeks yet. ???????????????????
