Nice!
I've got a Myr. Louise Fuchs just starting to bloom. 3 spikes plus 2 more just starting already on new growths. I've never had them overlap like this before.
I'd post a picture but I have no idea how to take a picture of this thing. It's a monster and the blooming spikes have got to be 8-10 feet tall.
They are super fun plants though! Can't wait to see your flowers.

My myr had 3 spikes, still has 1 but I lost 2 about a month ago when it blew off the bench. The thing is just uncontrollable and I don't know what to do to it to keep it manageable. That being said, it has already thrown up 2 more spikes (much shorter) and the buds are emerging already. The thing is just a monster!

DirtyCoconuts, after seeing one of your pictures of a Myrmecophila (tibicinis?), I was dying to get one, but after reading your description of its height, I may have to hold off on one... :P

they are truly unique in the flower world as far as i know because you can pot them in one room and enjoy the flowers in another...
i was not kidding that the mother plant for my tibicinis had 8' spikes!
i LOVE big plants so this is my jam LOL...not for those of limited space.
although, i have a buddy who grows these indoors in small pots and just keeps them on the floor and trains the spikes up....they almost touch the ceiling but he's living the dream LOL
