Thanks Scottish.

Wow! I love this plant! You have a lot more patience than me Slad! I will have to get a mature one some day.

Thanks Karen, I do recommend this plant if you have the space :-)

wow thats a beauty. Is it a house plant?

Thanks , Yes It's frost tender so I grow it in a large pot in the porch,but can be grown outside durning summer and autumn.

wow stunning worth the wait:))))

Thanks Surreylad

Really beautiful, bought a tuber earlier this year nothing happened so dug it up and it had rotted, any suggestions why?

Cheers Mark :-)

Your welcome Denise :-)

Superb, mate!
Is this another indoor special?

Cheers mate, it can grow outdoors after all cold weather has gone, but I grow it as an indoor special to be on the safe side.

Gotcha.

Very jealous SL! The mice had all my G.superba.
At least I still have the orange form that you sent me.

Thanks Meanie.

Lovely photo. I'm just waiting for mine to open any day now!!

Thanks majorsolomo, hope yours open well too.

Fabulous, SL!
I planted two tubers earlier this year...the plants are about two metres tall now - but no sign of any flowers!!!
How tall do they have to get? The man who sold me the tubers said that they would go from planting to flowering in about 7 weeks, lol!

Thanks Karen, they get to about 6 or 7 feet before flowering, they need loads of sun I find.

I've got six or seven feet! lol!...of vines!
They're in the "garden room", which could be described as a conservatory...in full sun for the best part of the day...

But, they keep curling around the ...TV, lol!!! :)

Lol, you should be having flowers then, or at least some buds..

Thanks :-)
