That's quite something. Even two or three of those flowers at once is spectacular.

A stunning spectacle Diane, how old is the plant? I find this a tricky species, I've never got it above one head!

Words fail me, but brilliant!

It's many years old, Jean, at a guess probably 15 years old (actually I can't remember!

)
I do have a single headed one, which shows no sign of offsetting yet.
Both are in clay pots for safety, and well drained potting mix.

One of my favourite mams for the size and number of flowers. Mine succumbed after a prolonged period in storage. Yours is gorgeous, Diane.

Lovely, but how do you know it has eight heads?
