Mushybanna:

I'll have to see if I can go back on the next free day
(first Tuesday of the month) in January 2010
(depending on my schedule) to see how this
flower spike progresses.

Milky:

The flower spike is appoximately 12 feet/ 3.7 meters tall
...I would assume it would grow another 3 feet / 1 meter more.
