I got an award for this plant , looking much like this in 2005; split into 4, sold 2pieces, and slowly grew the others on. Three spikes for the first time since then- worth showing now, especially as it is now ( again for the first time since 2005) strong enough to carry several flowers at once on each spike. Has been grown in my automatic watering system - probably every 2-3 days, for at least a year, and loves it. Might be much better again next year - there seem to be at least two other growths almost up to flowering size, and spike quality should be up too. The lateral down swept petals are about 3 inch long, so the flowers are maybe 5 inch natural span.
The plant stands 47 inches high ( from base of pot); I measured it, because I was fairly sure that it would not go into most cars I have had, and I should have had a struggle getting it to a show in one piece ; after the Spring Shows this year, I swapped my car for one more suitable for that purpose ( not having my dear late wife here to ask me if that ws not being a bit extravagant ! ) so I took my tape measure out to my new ( Passat Estate - VW - although it may be called something different where you are ) and bingo - one inch clearance ! I got that one right. Alas there are no shows to take it to, at the moment.
