Thanks Peter I have had this one for 2 years and this is the first spike for me. When I bought it had already bloomed once.

Ooh, growing fast Eric! Very nice!

(somehow I missed this first post. I think because last week I was so swamped at work I did miss some...)

Very nice! I like how the spikes, when the first start on these types look like little loch ness monsters in a sea of green....very neat!

Thanks for the update!!!
