I'm amazed from looking through the pics, that the flower spikes are so huge compared to the plant size.

Colin, I'll put you down for a forby then :) mine have a nice socky smell which fortunately is not so bad now I have an ioniser. (tu) I used to walk into the room and think... eew.. it smells like a teenager's room. :lolbt:

Hi, All.
Yes all very slow, now there is a bit warmth and sunshine perhaps the flowers will open.
