I put a 30cm/12 inch ruler alongside it, to show you I'm no' lyin'! The stalk is not straight, and the ruler is a little 'neath the soil, so it is clearly longer than 12 inches. The flower from it's base, to the very top of the spikes atop is a tad under 8 inches. As you can see, it has started to flower, and it will be stunning when it is in full bloom!
I'm so excited about it, since when it came home 2 years ago, Becky removed the flower head a day later, .... it has suffered NASTY hot summers and drought, and this is the result .... I can't wait to show it in bloom!

Thats amazing! It's going to look fab in full bloom.
I've not green fingered at all - even my cactus was taken away by friends to be rescued and anyone can grow them!! xx
That's beautiful, I might show my Aunt Torhild your photo, she loves plants. Her pride and joy is her Batwing Plant. I have to say, it's absolutely stunning. If you would like to see it, here is a link to my Flickr.
