You are so right, Mageth, it needs a lot of that, it just has to be a specimen plant.

I have one of these although I don't know how long I will be able to keep it as I didn't realise what a large clump it formed when I bought it a couple of years ago and I only have a very small garden. Like Amy's, mine is not as advanced as yours.

It gets better as the flowers grow upwards! Toto - what a shame. I understand, though, as this does need plenty of room around it.
