I'm so looking forward to this one finally opening!
Sue bought it for me out of the bargain bin at a local GC - from £18 down to a fiver as the blooms were over.
Only buy these if there is a fresh crown of leaves forming if you're impatient, as each crown only produces one flower spike as a rule. Each crown takes about two years to reach maturity.

i look forward to the photo's..

Me too.

Thanks - it has two flower spikes (from the new crown) but unfortunately it is not a sequential flowering type (just the one bloom per spike I'm afraid). But they are serious "look at me" blooms!

You've taught Sue well Meanie LOL... can't wait to see the flower !

Thanks Sticki!
It's been a month since the first photo, but as it's now "bowing its head" I'm hoping that it will be this week.

you have some great plants meanie!!
just wondering what on earth do you have for a christmas tree ~ surely not the ordinary one!!??
31 Oct, 2011
Sod all - hate Christmas!!
31 Oct, 2011
not great is it.
31 Oct, 2011
It's just too much nowadays.......
31 Oct, 2011
definitely agree, you could do an alternative version im sure.
pick the best plant and use that as the celebration ~ no other decorations needed.

Two months until Chrimbo - could be my Bird of Paradise!

oh how fantastic would that be!!!
a great chilli, nice cheese and what else could you want??
31 Oct, 2011
Personally - a huge slab of fillet steal (28 day hung), blue cheese sauce, homemade triple cooked chips, garlic mushrooms etc! T'other half says steak and stilton pie, roasties etc.......
31 Oct, 2011
i could sink my teeth into that right now!!!
steak and stilton pie also good but the fillet steak always wins! [havent tried 28 day version ~ too pricey]
and the triple cooked chips wins over roasties. sorry OH.

My butchers 28 day is cheaper than the supermarkets "still got a pulse" stuff!
31 Oct, 2011
trust you to have a name like that for it!!!
the meat from the counter is really good ~ better than the prepacked in general in the supermarket; tend to shop there now cos i work there but before that went to a nice little village butcher ~ since changed hands.

One of the local village butchers has just become a nail bar! It was a cracking butchery, and his wife baked the most fantastic natural bread every morning!
31 Oct, 2011
what a disappointment!!! nail bar???? hardly compares with good meat and bread does it??
31 Oct, 2011
It clearly is to all the escapees from London who live there now!

does lorraine pasqual live there? she was/is a model but is also trained as a chef/cook ~ on tv doing a cookery programme currently.
31 Oct, 2011
She lives in town apparently......
31 Oct, 2011
saw the programme ~ i like what she cooks; she doesnt make a fuss, nor is she attention-seeking as some other tv chef/cooks have a tendency to be!
