Yes, it is a pretty large plant! There are actually two more spikes just starting!

here are two photos of the plant, one with a cat in the picture to show the scale.

Yes, me too! Love to see the whole plant. I don't see myself getting one of these....I think they are bigger than Phrag. longifolium, no? :poke:

98 blooms, quite an accomplishment! Think we'll ever see a slipper with that many? Hahaha!!!

very nice big plant, will this produce multiple spikes as it gets bigger, say 4 or 5 at the same time? It it does it will look spectaclular.

Nice plant, not as big as I expected, and cute cat too! Looks interested...watch out! :wink:
I have similar pics of my Sharry Baby with my cat - they like those long arching spikes.

My cat has only ever chewed plants with Phrag. longifolium in the breeding. Go figure! :confused:

Not that I let her near the growing area, but when I first started growing, I stole her window seat to do it, and it took buying enough plants to stuff in so she couldn't get a foot hold to convince her the window was no longer hers.

Still though, even now, if longifolium is sitting on the kitchen counter, or somewhere in her reach, she goes right to it and threatens me. Out comes the cat mister! :lol:
